Abstract

13C Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) signals in several fatty compounds with allylic mono- and dihydroxy groups were assigned by comparing compounds with and without other functional groups (allylic hydroxy, carboxylic acid, respectively, methyl ester at C1). The simple13C NMR spectra of hydroxylated compounds derived from symmetrical alkenes are particularly useful in making assignments. The compounds whose signals were partially assigned are 8-hydroxy-9(E)-octadecenoic acid, 11-hydroxy-9(E)-octadecenoic acid, 8, 11-dihydroxy-9(E)-octadecenoic acid, 9(E)-octadecen-8-ol, and 9(E)-octadecene-8, 11-diol. The present evaluation can be used for assigning signals in other fatty compounds.
