Fatty acids, part 5: A study of the oxymercuration-demercuration reaction of some C11-unsaturated fatty esters and methyl octadec-cis-10-en-5-ynoate by C.H. Lam; M.S.F. Lie Ken Jie is a Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology article available to read on EtoBox.

What is Fatty acids, part 5: A study of the oxymercuration-demercuration reaction of some C11-unsaturated fatty esters and methyl octadec-cis-10-en-5-ynoate about?

The methoxymercuration-demercuration reactions of all the methyl cis-undecenoates are reported. Oxymercuration reaction of acetylenic esters gives keto-and hydroxy-esters when demercurated with hydrochloric acid and sodium borohydride respectively. Similar reactions are carried out with methyl octadec-cis-10-en-5-ynoate, which give the methyl 5 (6)-oxooctadec-cis-10-enoate and 5 (6)-hydroxy-10(11 )-methoxyoctadecanoate isomers. Reduction of the methyl 5 (6)-oxooctadec-cis-10-enoates with sodium borohydride yields the corresponding methyl hydroxy-esters, which on treatment with mercuric acetate (in methanol) and demercurated with sodium borohydride give methyl 5-hydroxy-10(11)-methoxyoctadecanoates and the 2,6-disub stituted tetrahydropyranyl derivative, methyl 6,10-epoxyoctadecanoate.

Who reads Fatty acids, part 5: A study of the oxymercuration-demercuration reaction of some C11-unsaturated fatty esters and methyl octadec-cis-10-en-5-ynoate?

It is typically read by researchers, students, and practitioners in Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology.
