Sr. Venkatachalam et al., CIS-10-OCTADECENOIC ACID, COMPONENT OF ZANTHOXYLUM-ALATUM SEED OIL, Indian journal of chemistry. Sect. B: organic chemistry, including medical chemistry, 35(5), 1996, pp. 514-517
The investigation of the seed oil of Zanthoxylum alatum for insecticid
al activity, has resulted in characterization of a new component cis-1
0-octadecenoic acid. The position of the double bond has been establis
hed from GC:MS of its pyrrolidide derivative and by comparison with an
authentic sample prepared independently. This has been erroneously ch
aracterized earlier as cis-9-octadecenoic acid based on GLC studies of
the degraded products.
