15,16-Dihydroxy-alpha-eleostearic acid

15,16-Dihydroxy-α-eleostearic acid, or 15,16-Dihydroxy-(9Z,11E,13E)-9,11,13-octadecatrienoic acid, is an organic compound with formula C18H30O4, or H3C-CH2-(-CH(OH)-)2(-CH=CH-)3-(-CH2-)7-(C=O)OH. It can be seen as derived from α-eleostearic acid by the replacement of two hydrogen atoms by two hydroxyl (OH) groups. The compound can be extracted from the fruit with ethanol, and is soluble in ethyl acetate but not in water or acetone.
