title: Synthesis of benzophenone-containing fatty acids.
abstract: Syntheses of new benzophenone-containing fatty acids (FABPs) 1, 5, and 6 and a new route to FABP 3 are described. Combined with the known 2 and 4, these FABPs comprise a set of photoactivatable fatty acid analogues with the crosslinking site at defined distances from the carboxylic acid hydroxyl group oxygen atoms ranging from 7.9 to 25.0 A.
