| Abstract: | Pinolenic acid (5Z,9Z,12Z-octadecatrienoic acid, 1a), one of the most abundant trienoic fatty acids in nature, is very difficult to obtain in quantity in a pure state from the highly complex mixture of unsaturated tall oil fatty acids. For this reason its chemistry has been little studied when compared to linolenic or linoleic acids. A simple synthesis of esters of 1a and of 12Z,15Z-octadecadienoic acid 3 using the one pot double Wittig procedure is described here. The products of double Wittig reactions were purified by argentation chromatography, and their structural purity was established by 1H-, 13C-NMR and 2D-NMR spectroscopies. |
