Dolichodial is a natural chemical compound with two aldehyde groups, which belongs to the group of iridoids.

Chemistry

It has in its five-membered ring three asymmetric carbon atoms and accordingly exists in four diastereomeric pairs of enantiomers. The pairs with a different stereochemistry of dolichodial are called anisomorphal and peruphasmal.
