Abstract

Four series of long chain fatty alcohols bearing a cyclohexenone moiety in addition to a ω- alkanol side chain were synthesized using “Umpolung” reactivity strategy. Their effect on neurite outgrowth was evaluated by means of fetal rat neurons in culture. The length of the ω- hydroxy side chain is a crucial factor for biological activity.
