摘要:
Deuterated analogs of estrogen fatty acid esters are needed as internal standards for isotope dilution GC/MS analyses. We have developed a rapid and efficient synthesis for 2,4,16,16-D-4-estrone palmitate, stearate, oleate, linoleate, and linolenate and the corresponding 2,4,16,16,17(alpha-D-5-estradiol fatty acid 17-mono and 3,17-diesters using analogous fatty acid chlorides or fatty acid anhydrides and 4-(dimethylamino)pyridine under microwave irradiation. Chemoselective hydrolysis of fatty acid diesters was carried out by KOH in t-BuOH. (c) 2005 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
