Synthesis of racemic 9-methyl-10-hexadecenoic acid.
The marine bacterial fatty acid 9-methyl-10-hexadecenoic acid was conveniently prepared in 6 steps and in a 22% overall yield, starting from commercially available methyl 10-hydroxydecanoate. The naturally occurring fatty acid has the E double bond configuration as confirmed by gas chromatographic co-elution experiments.
