Consider the fatty acid. A carboxylate salt is attached to a 19-carbon chain, where double bonds are present between carbons 5 and 6, between carbons 8 and 9, between carbons 11 and 12, between 14 and 15, and between carbons 17 and 18. The carboxylate carbon is carbon 1. All double bonds are cis.
Which of the designations are accurate for the fatty acid?
- eicosanoic acid
- ω-3 fatty acid
- 20:5(Δ5,8,11,14,17)
- 20:5(Δ3,6,9,12,15)
- 19:5(Δ4,7,10,13,16)
