Abstract
(3Z,6E)-1-Bromododeca-3,6-diene, a common intermediate in the synthesi s of labelled 12t linoleic acid and 14t arachidonic acid, was obtained from (E)-3-nonyl-1-ol, in four steps, via conventional functional man ipulations. Cross-coupling of this bromododecadiene with the Grignard reagent of 1-chloro-5-(tetrahydropyranyloxy)pentane gave a C17 dienic ether which was further transformed in three steps to 12t-[1-C-14]lino leic acid in 22% overall field from 3-nonyl-1-ol (eight steps). The sy nthesis of 14t arachidonic acid involves a Wittig reaction between (Z) -7-(t-butyldiphenylsilyloxy)hept-3-enal and the ylide of (3Z,6E)-dodec a-3,6-dienyl-triphenylphosphonium bromide. The resulting C19 tetraenic ether was transformed in three steps to 14t[1-C-14]arachidonic acid ( isomeric and radiochemical purities > 99%). 9t Linoleic acid was obtai ned by a stepwise six-carbon elongation chain of both ends of trahydro pyranyloxy)-hex-3-enyltriphenylphosphonium salt in 20% overall yield.
