Abstract

Our investigation on anti-rice blast fungus materials from the rice plant has already led to the isolation of various types of oxygenated unsaturated fatty acids, which play an essential role in the defense of the rice plant against this fungus. Among those isolated were 9, 12, 13- trihydroxy C-18 fatty acids. We have determined the relative stereochemistry of the trihydroxy acid by synthesizing the possible stereoisomers. This paper describes the details of our ...
