jianjing81:
The chemical is found in the eye tear film
It's from this papaer:
http://www3.interscience.wiley.com/journal/109751781/abstract
I've looked everywhere to see what glyceryl Isoprene acetal is but yet no clue....
I know isoprene=2-methylbuta-1,3-diene, and acetal is a molecule with two single bonded oxygens attached to the same carbon atom, and glyceryl probably contains glycerol, but don't know how to put them together

Mitch:
I didn't see anything that caught my eye in the paper, but I would expect the isoprene and the acetal group to be attached to the -OH groups in the glycerol.
