Abstract

Arachidonic acid was reduced by hydrazine to yield isomeric eicosatrienoic acids with other products. Methylcis,cis,cis-5,8,11-eicosatrienoate was isolated from the products by silver ion chromatography and preparative gas liquid chromatography in 8% yield. The structure was confirmed by spectral studies and oxidative degradation.
