Abstract/OtherAbstract:
A simple one-step procedure for derivatization of the omega hydroxy fatty acids 20-hydroxyeicotetraeonic acid and 12-hydroxylauric acid is presented. The procedure involves acylation of the terminal hydroxy group and esterification of the carboxylic acid with a mixture of pentafluoropropionic anhydride and pentafluoropropanol. Positive and negative ion spectra for the derivatives are presented. The procedure was used to demonstrate conversion of arachidonic acid to 20-hydroxyeicosatetraeonic acid and lauric acid to 12-hydroxylauric acid in kidney microsomal incubations. The reaction appears to be specific, since derivatives of subterminal fatty acids (secondary alcohols) could not be detected.
