This molecule features a three-membered cyclopropane ring, with its carbons numbered 1 through 3 in sequence. Carbon 2 of the ring has two methyl groups attached, making it a quaternary center. Carbon 3 is unsubstituted. Carbon 1 is a chiral center with R configuration and bears a geminal hydroxyl-imine substituent. This consists of a single carbon attached to both a hydroxyl group (-OH) and a double bond to a nitrogen atom. The nitrogen is further connected to an alpha,beta-unsaturated carboxylic acid moiety. The alpha-carbon, which is bound to the imine nitrogen, carries a carboxyl group (-COOH) and forms a double bond with the beta-carbon. The beta-carbon is attached to a straight n-hexyl chain consisting of six additional carbons. The double bond between the alpha- and beta-carbons has defined Z geometry, meaning the imine and n-hexyl groups are on the same side.
