Notes: cis,cis-Octadeca-9,12-dienol, known less formally as linoleyl alcohol, is a polyunsaturated fatty alcohol produced by the reduction of linoleic acid (Item No. 90150). Conversely, it is oxidized in vivo to produce linoleic acid.{27076} cis,cis-Octadeca-9,12-dienol has been used to coat latex beads for phagocytosis assays and to synthesize a gallic acid ester for weight loss.{27075,27074} This alcohol of linoleic acid is also used in studies centering on the role of the carboxylic group of linoleic acid in enzyme recognition and cell signaling.{27077,27073}
