Nv. Groza et al., A NOVEL SYNTHESIS OF (8Z,11Z,14Z)-8,11,14-EICOSATRIENOIC (DIHOMO-GAMMA-LINOLEIC) ACID AND ITS 19-SUBSTITUTED ANALOG, Bioorganiceskaa himia, 24(6), 1998, pp. 458-461
The total synthesis of dihomo-gamma-linoleic acid and (8Z, 11Z, 14Z)-1
9-methyl-8,11,14-eicosatrienoic acid was accomplished by using organom
etallic complexes of copper (I) in the cross-coupling reaction of prop
argyl synthones with terminal acetylenic reagents.
