Solubility to water?

[edit]

"molecular formula C20H32".

So they all are insoluble to water, but soluble to fat?

Here are 2 diterpenes from Coffee beans:

Typically, diterpenes (C20H32) are insoluble in water. However, diterpenoids, which are modified diterpenes, such as the two you link, may certainly have water solubility. -- Ed (Edgar181) 13:41, 22 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
