Abstract
Abstract A stereoselective synthesis for the (5 Z ,9 Z )-14-methyl-5,9-pentadecadienoic acid and the monounsaturated analog ( Z )-14-methyl-9-pentadecenoic acid was accomplished in six to seven steps where double alkyne coupling was the key step. This synthesis will facilitate the study of the topoisomerase I inhibitory profile of this important class of fatty acids.
