Reaction Steps

For the preparation of methyl hexadeca-9,12,15-trienoate, a solution of methyl hexadeca-15-en-9,12-diynoate (800 mg) in ethyl acetate (15 mL) was hydrogenated in the presence of Lindlar catalyst (300 mg) at ambient pressure using a balloon for 20 h. The catalyst was then removed by filtration, and the solvent was evaporated to yield (9Z,12Z)-methyl hexadeca-9,12,15-trienoate as the major product. A portion of the product was then purified by preparative thin layer chromatography using hexanes:ethyl acetate 98:2 (3 developments) to yield pure (9Z,12Z)-methyl hexadeca-9,12,15-trienoate. The characterization data for (9Z,12Z)-methyl hexadeca-9,12,15-trienoate is provided below.
