cis-Cyclopropane fatty acids (cis-CFAs) are widespread constituents of the seed oils of subtropical plants, membrane components of bacteria and protozoa, and the fats and phospholipids of animals. We describe a systematic approach to the synthesis of enan

Cardiolipin (CL) is a phospholipid located in both the eukaryotic mitochondrial inner membrane and the bacterial cell membrane. Some bacterial CLs are known to contain cyclopropane moieties in their acyl chains. Although the CLs are thought to be involved in the innate immune response, there have been few attempts at chemical synthesis of the CLs, and detailed studies of their biological activities are scarce. Thus, we have developed a synthetic route to CLs containing chiral cyclopropane moieties.
An Unexpected Reversal of Fluorine Substituent Effects in the Biomethylenation of Two Positional Isomers: A Serendipitous Discovery

The mechanism of biological cyclopropyl fatty acid biosynthesis as it occurs in Lactobacillus plantarum has been probed using fluorine substituent effects.It has been shown that the pattern of rate retardations induced by homoallylic fluorine substitution is numerically the same but opposite in sense for two series of olefinic fatty acid substrates bearing the double bond at either the 9- or the 11-position.
