Hey guys,
How is the boiling point of saturated and cis- trans-unsaturated fatty acids related? I know that cis-unsaturated fatty acids have greater boiling point due to dipole-dipole interaction, but how do the boiling point of saturated FA and trans-unsaturated FA relate? What is the correct order for all the 3 types of FA?
Thanks!
