Abstract
Abstract Facile syntheses of the monounsaturated omega-3 fatty acids,(Z)-15-octadecenoic acid and (Z)-16-nonadecenoic acid, are presented. Commercially available hydroxy fatty acids were esterified and oxidised, followed by the Wittig reaction to introduce the omega-3 olefinic bond; hydrolysis yielded the omega-3 fatty acids in high purity. An examination of different reaction conditions for the Wittig step found that THF as solvent and coupling ...
