Synthesis of polyacetylenic acids isolated from Heisteria acuminata

Org Lett. 2001 Mar 22;3(6):819-21. doi: 10.1021/ol006946v.

Abstract

Four linear polyacetylenic compounds were synthesized. Pentadeca-6,8,10-triynoic acid 1 and octadeca-8,10,12-triynoic acid 2 were synthesized by using acetylene coupling reactions. The syntheses of (Z)-hexadec-11-en-7,9-diynoic acid 3 and (Z)-octadec-12-en-7,9-diynoic acid 4 by using vinylic telluride coupling reactions were accomplished.
