Persin was identified as (Z,Z)-1-(acetyloxy)-2-hydroxy-12,15-heneicosadien-4-one in 1995. A rough condensed structure is as follows: CH3C=OOCH2CHOHCH2C=OR, where R has two unconjugated double bonds (both double bonds are Z, or "trans"). Note also that the hydroxyl and the ketonyl carbonyl have an aldol relation (a beta-hydroxy ketone), typically created by an aldol condensation.
[edit] Other Foods Toxic to Pets
Regarding the section of other foods toxic to pets, shouldn't this go in its own page? It has nothing to do with persin. Just my $0.02.
