Compound Q&A
How is (9E,12E,15E)-9,12,15-Octadecatrienoic acid (CAS: 68132-21-8) typically synthesized?
Answer
(9E,12E,15E)-9,12,15-Octadecatrienoic acid can be synthesized through the hydrolysis of 9,12,15-octadecatrienoyl chloride, an intermediate obtained from the dehydration of 9,12,15-octadecatrienoic anhydride. Alternatively, it can be produced via direct hydrogenation of 9,12,15-octadecatrienal, a process that provides good yield and selectivity for the desired cis configuration.
