Abstract

Abstract In order to have a better insight of the effect of the double bond geometry of EPA on its anti-aggregating properties, methyl ester of [18-14 C] EPA and of its Δ17t isomer were synthesized from a common intermediate [(3Z, 6Z, 9Z)-12, 12-diethoxydodeca-3, 6, 9-trienyl] triphenylphosphonium iodide 11 via three sequential Wittig olefination. Labelled methyl ester of EPA 16b and EPAΔ17t17b were obtained in near 10% isomeric and ...
