CID 56928144 lists a name of "Ustalic acid" and gives the alkene geometries as Z,Z. CID 21680754 is the E,E isomer, and is not listed with that name. The structure-determination and synthesis papers in the cited refs are consistent with E,E and not with Z,Z. DMacks (talk) 09:36, 3 April 2013 (UTC)Reply
