title: Synthesis of S-behenyl coenzyme A.
abstract: The synthesis of behenyl CoA by the reaction of coenzyme A with N-hydroxysuccinimide ester of behenic acid is reported. This method gives better yields of behenyl CoA when compared to the acid chloride or mixed anhydride method where side reactions seem to cause a decrease in yield.
