Abstract
A new unsaturated hydroxy fatty acid was isolated from the leaves ofCucurbita moschata through repeated silica gel column chromatography and chemical methods. The structure of the new fatty acid was determined as 13-hydroxy-9, 11, 15-octadecatrienoic acid on the basis of several spectral data including 2D-NMR. The stererostructures of double bonds were determined to be 9Z, 11E and 15E by coupling patterns of related proton signals in the1H-NMR and NOESY experiments.
