Abstract

2E, 4E, 6E, 11Z-Octadecatetraenoic acid was synthesized in a good yield and in a stereospecific manner by coupling a vinylborane compound and ethyl trans-3-iodoacrylate. The trienic system (E, E, E) was obtained by successive use of metal-catalyzed coupling and hydro-metallation reactions.
