Lesquerolic acid
Lesquerolic acid is a hydroxycarboxylic acid that occurs naturally in Paysonia lasiocarpa and other Paysonia and Physaria species.
The acid is typically found together with other hydroxylated fatty acids, such as densipolic, auricolic, ricinoleic, etc.
This compound has the Chirality (chemistry)#By configuration: [R- and S-|R configuration] at the alcohol-bearing stereocenter, and it is of the Z configuration at the olefin. Lesquerolic acid is chemically similar to ricinoleic acid, but with two additional carbons at the carboxyl end of the carbon chain.
