Application

6-Bromohexanoic acid was used in the preparation of N-acylsulfonamides on treatment with tosyl isocyanate (189278) and alkyl ketones from alkyl iodides and metallic strontium. It was also used in the synthesis of anionic mitomycin C-dextran conjugate (MMC-D), 2-lithio-1,3-dithian and diaryl thioethers.

A versatile method for the synthesis of trifluoro fatty acids, potential metabolically blocked myocardial imaging agents, has been developed. Two trifluorohexadecanoic (palmitic) acids have been prepared [6,6,16-trifluorohexadecanoic acid (I) and 7,7,16-trifluorohexadecanoic acid (II)], each of which bears two of the
