Naturally Occurring Diol Lipids: Dialkoxypentanes in Porpoise ( Phocoena phocoena ) Jaw Oil
Dialkyl ethers of diols (dialkoxyalkanes), naturally occurring lipids, have been isolated from the jaw oil of the porpoise Phocoena phocoena . The principal constituents are dialkoxypentanes containing two 18-carbon chains. The alkoxy linkage may play an important role in the metabolism of the diol...
