ChEBI: A long chain fatty alcohol that is octadecanol containing two double bonds located at positions 9 and 12 (the 9Z,12Z-geoisomer).

(9Z,?12Z)?-9,?12-?Octadecadien-?1-?ol is a linoleyl acid derivative and building block used in the synthesis of lipid-?based unsymmetrical O,?O-?dialkylphosphites. (9Z,?12Z)?-9,?12-?Octadecadien-?1-?ol has been synthesized by transfer hydrogenation using a ruthenium-based catalyst from its parent fatty acid.
