Abstract

Abstract (Z, Z)-6, 9-Dienes with straight C 18–C 23 chains were synthesized from linoleic acid, and a C 17 chain was synthesized by hydrogenation of the corresponding 6, 9-diyne prepared from propargyl alcohol. Oxidation of the homoconjugated dienes with m- chloroperoxybenzoic acid yielded a 1: 1 mixture of two monoepoxides that could be separated by repeated medium-pressure liquid chromatography with a Lobar column. The ...
