What is NONADECANOIC ACID?

Description

Nonadecyclic acid, or nonadecanoic acid, is a 19-carbon longchain saturated fatty acid with the chemical formula CH₃(CH₂)₁₇COOH. It forms salts called nonadecylates.
Nonadecylic acid can be found in fats and vegetable oils. It is also used by insects as pheromones.
