Several classes of biologically occurring fatty acid amides have been reported from mammalian and plant sources. Many amides conjugated with fatty acids of mammalian origin exhibit specific activation of individual receptors. Their potential as pharmacological tools or as lead compounds towards the development of novel therapeutics is of great interest. Hence, access to such amides by a practical, high-yielding and scalable protocol without affecting the geometry or position of sensitive functionalities is needed. A protocol that meets all these requirements involves activation of the corresponding acid with carbonyl diimidazole (CDI) followed by reaction with the desired amine or its hydrochloride. More than fifty compounds have been prepared in generally high yields.

The synthesis of the three ω-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, eicosatetraenoic acid (3), docosapentaenoic acid (4), and stearidonic acid (5) has been achieved using eicosapentaenoic acid or docosahexaenoic acid as the starting materials.

Three fatty acids were synthesized from commercially available α-linolenic, stearidonic and eicosapentaenoic acids by C2-elongation using a four step preparative technique. The parent fatty acid methyl esters were reduced to alcohols with LiAlH4, converted to bromides by treatment with triphenylphosphine dibromide, coupled with a lithiated C2-elongation block - 2,4,4-trimethyl-2-oxazoline - to form the corresponding 2,2-dimethyloxazolines of C2-elongated fatty acids, and finally, converted to the target polyunsaturated fatty acids by acidic alcoholysis. Yields of more than 60% were achieved on a gram scale. The resulting 11Z,14Z,17Z-eicosatrienoic, 8Z,11Z,14Z,17Z-eicosatetraenoic and 7Z,10Z,13Z,16Z,19Z-docosapentaenoic acids were obtained as colorless oils with >98% purity and could be used for biochemical investigations without additional purification. The elongated fatty acids were free of byproducts that could result from Z-E isomerization or migration of double bonds.
