(8Z)-8-Tetradecenal is an unsaturated aldehyde characterized by a long carbon chain with a double bond located at the eighth carbon from the aldehyde functional group. It has a molecular formula of C14H26O, indicating it consists of 14 carbon atoms, 26 hydrogen atoms, and one oxygen atom. The "8Z" designation specifies that the double bond between the eighth and ninth carbon atoms is in the Z (cis) configuration, which influences its physical and chemical properties. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive fatty odor, making it relevant in the fragrance and flavor industries. It is also of interest in organic synthesis and may exhibit biological activity, potentially serving as a pheromone or signaling molecule in certain organisms. Its reactivity is typical of aldehydes, allowing for various chemical transformations, including oxidation and condensation reactions. As with many unsaturated compounds, it may be sensitive to light and air, necessitating careful handling and storage.

(Z)-8-Tetradecenal is a dilute substance that is used as a food additive to provide a pleasant taste and aroma. It can be found in the essential oils of fruits such as oranges and lemons, as well as in some alcoholic beverages. This substance has been shown to have antioxidant properties, which may be due to its ability to scavenge reactive oxygen species (ROS) or inhibit lipid peroxidation. The antioxidant activity of (Z)-8-tetradecenal may also be due to its ability to inhibit the formation of α-terpineol from α-pinene by reacting with it spontaneously. This substance is not considered toxic and does not appear to pose any risk for human health at the levels consumed.
