ACYCLIC ALKYL ACIDS AND ALCOHOLS

Natural lipids encompass a broad group of structurally rich compounds …. from the mundane, but functionally essential, triglycerides, to the highly potent bioactive lipids: the prostaglandins and leukotrienes. While considerable attention has been paid to the latter group, and useful therapeutic agents uncovered, the chemist has been limited in the scope of further discovery by poor access to starting materials for innovative design. GAIA provides broad access, naturally.
