Chemical investigation of the glandular trichome exudate from Silene latifolia subsp. alba (Caryophyllaceae) resulted in the identification of 9-hydroxyoctadecanoic acid (1) and five new fatty acids 9-hydroxyicosanoic acid (2), 9-acetyloxyoctadecanoic acid (3), 9-acetyloxyicosanoic acid (4), 9-hexanoyloxyhexadecanoic acid (5) and 9-hexanoyloxyoctadecanoic acid (6). The oxygenated positions in these fatty acid derivatives were determined to be at C-9 by GC-MS analysis of their trimethylsilyl (TMS) derivatives, while the configurations at C-9 of compounds 1 and 2 were established as S by application of the Akasaka-Ohrui method to their methyl esters.
