Truxinic acid
Truxinic acids are any of several stereoisomeric cyclic dicarboxylic acids with the formula (C6H5)2C4H4(COOH)2, found in various plants.[1][2] They are obtained by a photochemical cycloaddition from cinnamic acid,[3] where the two trans alkenes react head-to-head.

Isomers
These compounds have four chiral carbon atoms, which looks like there should be 16 (24) stereoisomers. However, the symmetry of the molecule allows for only ten possibilities, of which six have been described in literature:[4][5]

gollark: Anyway, you could make it into a 4x4 grid if you wanted to, or a 2x2x2x2 hypercube.
gollark: Transistor good. Your computer has billions of transistors in it.
gollark: I mean, *lawful*, really?
gollark: Anyway, I disagree with my placement in "lawful neutral".
gollark: Well, if you define "evil" as, say, "more self-serving than usual", that's... probably quite common. But the alignment thing has many arguments about it.
