evanomycin, C7H8O3 is very unstable acid isolated from a certain type of bacteria.

evanomycin displays peaks in the IR region at: 3450(br), 1710, 1639, and 886 cm-1

evanomycin absorbs H2 to give a different acid [IR 3450(br), 1739, 1710]

ozonolysis of evanomycin yields formaldehyde and an acid, which on further oxidation with kmno4 gives glutaric acid.

what is the structure of evanomycin?
