Synthesis of epoxide and vicinal diol regioisomers from docosahexaenoate methyl esters.
Docosahexaenoic acid (22:6(n-3)) was recently shown to be metabolized by liver microsomes to vicinal diol regioisomers. To identify the diols, and to compare their biological actions with those of epoxide precursors, we developed a chemical method to synthesize microgram to milligram amounts of epox...
