Nonadecylic acid, or nonadecanoic acid, is a 19-carbon 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, although it is rare.[1]
It is also present in the world of insects as the major constituent of the substance secreted by soldiers of the termite Rhinotermes marginalis for defence purposes.[2]
Nonadecanoic acid has found applications in the field of metal lubrication.[3]
The compound can be prepared by permanganate oxidation of 1-eicosene.[4]
