title: Synthesis of S-erucyl coenzyme A.
abstract: A convenient synthesis of erucyl CoA from N-hydroxysuccinimide ester of erucic acid and coenzyme A is reported. The product has been fully characterized from its spectral and hydrolysis data. The yield is superior to the acid chloride or mixed anhydride methods where side reactions seem to reduce the yield.
