Reaction Steps

Ethyl (2E,11Z,14Z,17Z)-2-methyl-eicosa-2,11,14,17-tetraenoate (6) (160 mg, 0.46 mmol) was dissolved in methanol (3 ml) and added LiOH (193 mg, 4.6 mmol) in water (3 ml) and the mixture was heated at 50° C. for 2 hrs. The mixture was cooled, and diluted hydrochloric acid was added to pH 2. Extraction with diethylether, drying (MgSO4) and evaporation of solvents under reduced pressure afforded the acid 7. The acid was purified by flash chromatography on silica gel (8:2 hexane-EtOAc); δH(300 MHz) 0.95 (t, J 7.5, 3H, CH3), 1.2-1.5 (m, 10H), 1.81 (s, 3H, CH3), 2.0-2.2 (m, 6H), 2.79 (t, J 5.8, 4H), 5.2-5.4 (m, 6H), 6.90 (dt, J 7.5, J 1.3, 1H); δc(75 MHz) 11.93, 14.25, 20.53, 25.51, 25.60, 27.19, 28.40, 28.87, 29.16, 29.31, 29.58, 126.94, 127.10, 127.71, 128.24, 128.25, 130.25, 131.93, 145.41, 173.76.
