Ketoisanic acid is a linear fatty acid composed of 18 carbon atoms, with two triple bonds in the positions 9≡10 and 11≡12, a double bond in the position 17=18, and a ketone substituent in the position 8. This is one of the rare polyacetylenic acids with conjugated triple bonds, the oxygenated isanic acid.
