Abstract
Over 600 naturally occuring compounds with acetylenic bonds (triple bonds) have been characterized (Bohlmann et al., 1973). Previous in-vivo studies, from mosses accumulating acetylenic fatty acids, indicate that the acetylenic bond is formed by the substraction of two hydrogen atoms from a double bond (Kohn et al., 1994).
