Abstract

18-Fluoro-cis-9-octadecenoic acid (w-fluoro-oleic acid), synthesized in 36.5% over-all yield utilizing acetylenic intermediates, has been shown to be identical with the toxic principle of Dichapetulum toxicarium. Other w-fluoro unsaturated acids have been prepared, including the isomeric trans-acid (w-fluoro-elaidic acid). The toxicities of all new w-fluoro compounds have been determined; the results, interpreted in terms of previously reported metabolic ...
