Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 160 mg of methyl 4,5,8Z-eicosatrienoate in 20 ml of ethanol was treated 0.5 ml of 1.0N aqueous potassium hydroxide and the reaction mixture was stirred under nitrogen at room temperature for 7 hours. The solvents were removed under reduced pressure and the resulting oil was dried for several hours at 0.02 mn and 25° C. to give 168 mg of potassium 4,5,8Z-eicosatrienoate.
