'''Oleic acid''' is a fatty acid that occurs naturally in various animal and vegetable fats and oils. It is an odorless, colorless oil, although commercial samples may be yellowish due to the presence of impurities. In chemical terms, oleic acid is classified as a monounsaturated omega-9 fatty acid, abbreviated with a lipid number of 18:1 ''cis''-9, and a main product of Δ9-desaturase.<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Nakamura |first1=Manabu T. |last2=Nara |first2=Takayuki Y. |date=2004 |title=Structure, function, and dietary regulation of Δ6, Δ5, and Δ9 desaturases |url=https://www.annualreviews.org/doi/10.1146/annurev.nutr.24.121803.063211 |journal=Annual Review of Nutrition |volume=24 |pages=345–376 |doi=10.1146/annurev.nutr.24.121803.063211 |pmid=15189125 |url-access=subscription}}</ref> It has the formula {{chem2|CH3\s(CH2)7\sCH\dCH\s(CH2)7\sCOOH}}.<ref name=Ullmann /> The name derives from the Latin word ''oleum'', which means oil.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Bailey and Bailey |first=Dorothy and Kenneth |year=1929 |title=An Etymological Dictionary of Chemistry and Mineralogy |journal=Nature |volume=124 |issue=3134 |pages=789–790 |bibcode=1929Natur.124..789V |doi=10.1038/124789b0|s2cid=4024133 }}</ref> It is the most common fatty acid in nature.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/compound/965#section=Top |title=9-Octadecenoic acid |date=14 July 2018 |publisher=PubChem, National Center for Biotechnology Information, US National Library of Medicine |access-date=19 July 2018}}</ref> The salts and esters of oleic acid are called '''oleates'''.

== Occurrence == Fatty acids (or their salts) often do not occur as such in biological systems. Instead fatty acids such as oleic acid occur as their esters, commonly triglycerides, which are the greasy materials in many natural oils. Oleic acid is the most common monounsaturated fatty acid in nature. It is found in fats (triglycerides), the phospholipids that make membranes, cholesteryl esters, and wax esters.<ref name=Ntambi />

== Production and chemical behavior == The biosynthesis of oleic acid involves the action of the enzyme stearoyl-CoA 9-desaturase acting on stearoyl-CoA. In effect, stearic acid is dehydrogenated to give the monounsaturated derivative, oleic acid.<ref name="Ntambi">{{Cite journal |author=Ntambi, James M. |author2=Miyazaki, Makoto |year=2003 |title=Recent insights into stearoyl-CoA desaturase-1 |journal=Current Opinion in Lipidology |volume=14 |issue=3 |pages=255–61 |doi=10.1097/00041433-200306000-00005 |pmid=12840656|s2cid=45954457 }}</ref>
Oleic acid undergoes the typical reactions of carboxylic acids and alkenes. It is soluble in aqueous base to give soaps called oleates. Iodine adds across the double bond. Hydrogenation of the double bond yields the saturated derivative stearic acid. Oxidation at the double bond occurs slowly in air, and is known as rancidification in foodstuffs and as drying in coatings.
Reduction of the carboxylic acid group yields oleyl alcohol. Ozonolysis of oleic acid is an important route to azelaic acid. The coproduct is nonanoic acid:<ref>{{Cite book |last1=Cornils |first1=Boy |title=Ullmann's Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry |last2=Lappe |first2=Peter |year=2000 |isbn=978-3-527-30673-2 |chapter=Dicarboxylic Acids, Aliphatic |doi=10.1002/14356007.a08_523}}</ref> :{{chem2|H17C8CH\dCHC7H14CO2H + 4"O" → HO2CC7H14CO2H + H17C8CO2H}} Esters of azelaic acid find applications in lubrication and plasticizers.
