Google: Keyword: "Vitamin K"
Per Wikipedia: "Vitamin K ("Koagulation" in German) is a group name for a number of related compounds, which have in common a methylated naphthoquinone ring structure, and which vary in the aliphatic side chain attached at the 3-position (see figure 1). Phylloquinone (also known as vitamin K1) invariably contains in its side chain four isoprenoid residues, one of which is unsaturated."
