Methyl octadec-11 Z-en-9-ynoate(1) was epoxidized to give methyl 11,12-Z-epoxy-octadec-9-ynoate (2, 81%). Acid catalyzed ring opening of the epoxy ring of compound 2 gave methyl 1 11,12-dihydroxy-octadec-9-ynoate (3, 80%). The latter was treated with mesyl chloride to yield methyl 11,12-dimesyloxy-octadec-9-ynoate (4, 76%). Reaction of compound 4 with sodium azide furnished methyl 11-azido-12-mesyloxy-octadec-9-ynoate (5a, 49%) and methyl 11-azido-octadec-11E-en-9-ynoate (5b, 24%). Compound 2 was semi-hydrogenated over Lindlar catalyst to give methyl 11,12-Z-epoxy-octadec-9Z-enoate (6, 90%). This allylic epoxy fatty ester (6) was reacted with sodium azide to give a mixture of methyl 11-azido-12-hydroxy-octadec-9Z-enoate (7a) and methyl 9-azido-12-hydroxy-octadec-9E-enoate (7b), which could not be separated into individual components by silica chromatography. Chromic acid oxidation of the mixture of compounds 7a and 7b furnished methyl 9-azido-12-oso-octadec-10E-enoate (8, 41% based on amount of compound 6 used) and an intractable mixture of polar compounds. The various products were characterized by NMR spectroscopic and mass spectral analyses. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.
