โฆ Synopsis
Unsaturated even numbered fatty acids (Clo to C3J with uncommon position of the double bond (not w-3,6 or 9) belong to the unusual fatty acids. It seems, that these fatty acids are ubiquitous in small amounts in nature with priority of microorganisms and animal kingdom. Nearly all positions are possible.
