Abstract: | Reduction of methyl 8-hydroxy-11-E/Z-octadecen-9-ynoate (1) with zinc in either aqueous n-propanol or water under concomitant ultrasound irradiation furnished a mixture of methyl 8-hydroxy-9Z,11E-octadecadienoate (3a) and methyl 8-hydroxy-9Z, 11Z-octadecadienoate (3b) (96% yield). Reduction of methyl 8-oxo-11-E/Z-octadecen-9-ynoate (2) under similar conditions gave methyl 8-oxo-10-Z-octadecenoate exclusively (4, 70%). The latter compound was epoxidized and converted to a C18 furanoid fatty ester (6, methyl 8,11-epoxy-8,10-octadecadienoate) in 70% yield. |
