The preparation of 6(7)-hydroxy-7(6)-0~0 and of 9( lO)-hydroxy-10(9)oxo-octadecanoic and of 13( 14) -hydroxy-14( 13) -cxo-docosanoic acids by three routes has been studied. The oxidation and reduction of these compounds and some intermediates, and the separation of the isomeric ketolacids, have also been investigated.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
