Abstract: | This article reviews synthetic routes leading to polyunsaturated fatty acids having “skipped” double bonds. Emphasis is placed on the “acetylenic approach”.The suitability of building blocks, their condensation reactions as well as the controlled reduction of triple bonds to cis double bonds are discussed. In addition, the application of the various methods to the preparation of polyunsaturated fatty acids labelled with 3H and/or 14C at distinct positions of the molecules is reviewed. |
