Lesquerolic acid is a hydroxy acid that occurs naturally in Paysonia lasiocarpa and other Paysonia and Physaria species. It was first isolated in 1961 by a team from the Northern Regional Research Laboratory.[2] This compound has the R configuration at the alcohol-bearing stereocenter, and it is of the Z configuration at the olefin. Lesquerolic acid is chemically similar to ricinoleic acid, but with two additional carbons at the carboxyl end of the carbon chain.[3] Lesquerolic acid, with other hydroxy fatty acids, has important industrial uses, including making resins, waxes, nylons and plastics.
