Docosadienoic acid is a polyunsaturated very long-chain fatty acid (VLCFA) with a 22-carbon backbone and two double bonds.[2]

The acid exists in several isomeric forms,[3] depending on the positions and configurations of the double bonds. These isomers play important roles in biological systems and are used in chemical synthesis.[4]
