Decenoic acid

Decenoic acid is any mono-carboxylic acid with an unbranched chain of ten carbons connected by eight single bonds and one double bond; that is, a chemical compound with formula HO(O=)C(CH
2
)
k
CH=CH(CH
2
)
7-k
–H, where k is between 0 and 7 inclusive.

There are fifteen of these compounds, that can be identified by the position k+2 of the double bond and (for k ≤ 6) the configuration (cis or trans) of the single bonds adjacent to it.

Decenoic acids are technically mono-unsaturated fatty acids (with code C10:1), although they are relatively rare in nature.
