Erucic Acid CAS#112-86-7
Erucic acid is a monounsaturated omega-9 fatty acid, denoted 22:1ω9. It has the formula CH3(CH2)7CH=CH(CH2)11COOH. Colorless needle crystal. Melting point 33.5°C, boiling point 381.5°C (decomposition), 358°C (53.3kPa), 265°C (2.0kPa), relative density 0.86 (55°C), refractive index 1.4534 (45°C). Erucic acid is highly soluble in ether and soluble in ethanol and methanol, but it is insoluble in water. It is commonly found in wallflower seeds, accounting for 4.1% of rapeseed oil, and makes up 42% of mustard oil.

Product Application of Erucic Acid CAS#112-86-7
Erucic acid has many of the same uses as mineral oils, but it is more readily biodegradable than some. It has limited ability to polymerize and dry for use in oil paints. Like other fatty acids, it can be converted into surfactants or lubricants, and can be used as a precursor to bio-diesel fuel.
Derivatives of erucic acid have many further uses, such as behenyl alcohol ( CH3(CH2)21OH ) , a pour point depressant (enabling liquids to flow at a lower temperature), and silver behenate, for use in photography. It is also used as an ingredient in appetite suppressants.
