1-(2'-Nitrophenyl)ethanediol was used to esterify the carboxylic acid function of fatty acids to prepare photosensitive fatty acid precursors for biological studies. The synthesis, photochemistry, and biological properties of several model cis-unsaturated fatty acids including arachidonic acid are described.
