Abstract

Oxocarboxylic acids were obtained in a high yield by the Gilman's ketone synthesis. Reduction of these acids afforded straight-chain higher fatty acids, such as eicosanoic, docosanoic, tetracosanoic, hexacosanoic, octacosanoic, triacontanoic, and dotriacontanoic acids. Their properties are also described.
