PRODUCTION AND CHEMICAL BEHAVIOR of C18:1 OLEIC ACID:
The biosynthesis of C18:1 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, C18:1 Oleic Acid.
C18:1 Oleic Acid undergoes the typical reactions of carboxylic acids and alkenes.

C18:1 Oleic Acid 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 C18:1 Oleic Acid is an important route to azelaic acid.
The coproduct is nonanoic acid.

Esters of azelaic acid find applications in lubrication and plasticizers.
Neutralizing C18:1 Oleic Acid with ethanolamines gives the protic ionic liquid monoethanolamine oleate.

OCCURRENCE of C18:1 OLEIC ACID:
Fatty acids (or their salts) often do not occur as such in biological systems.
Instead fatty acids such as C18:1 Oleic Acid occur as their esters, commonly triglycerides, which are the greasy materials in many natural oils.
C18:1 Oleic Acid is the most common monounsaturated fatty acid in nature.

C18:1 Oleic Acid is found in fats (triglycerides), the phospholipids that make membranes, cholesteryl esters, and wax esters.
Triglycerides of C18:1 Oleic Acid comprise the majority of olive oil (about 70%).

C18:1 Oleic Acid also makes up 59–75% of pecan oil, 61% of canola oil, 36–67% of peanut oil, 60% of macadamia oil, 20–80% of sunflower oil, 15–20% of grape seed oil, sea buckthorn oil, 40% of sesame oil, and 14% of poppyseed oil.
High oleic variants of plant sources such as sunflower (~80%) and canola oil (70%) also have been developed.

C18:1 Oleic Acid is abundantly present in many animal fats, constituting 37 to 56% of chicken and turkey fat, and 44 to 47% of lard.
C18:1 Oleic Acid is the most abundant fatty acid in human adipose tissue, and second in abundance in human tissues overall, following palmitic acid.

Free C18:1 Oleic Acid occurs in oils and fats as a product of the breakdown of triglycerides.
Olive oil exceeding 2% free C18:1 Oleic Acid is graded unfit for human consumption.
Some ants use C18:1 Oleic Acid as a chemical signal.

RELATED COMPOUNDS of C18:1 OLEIC ACID:
The trans isomer of C18:1 Oleic Acid is called elaidic acid or trans-9-octadecenoic acid.
These isomers have distinct physical properties and biochemical properties.

Elaidic acid, the most abundant trans fatty acid in diet, appears to have an adverse effect on health.
A reaction that converts C18:1 Oleic Acid to elaidic acid is called elaidinization.

Another naturally occurring isomer of C18:1 Oleic Acid is petroselinic acid.
In chemical analysis, fatty acids are separated by gas chromatography of their methyl ester derivatives.

Alternatively, separation of unsaturated isomers is possible by argentation thin-layer chromatography.
In ethenolysis, methyl oleate, the methyl ester of the acid, converts to 1-decene and methyl 9-decenoate.

Several organometallic oleates exist.
Cobalt oleate.
Copper oleate.
