Synthesis of C-37-Alkenones for Past Climate Reconstructions

The total syntheses of three C-37 methyl-alkenones with different degrees of unsaturation and of their C-13-labelled analogues from commercially available starting materials are presented herein for the first time. These molecules are important to improve the reliability of the measurements and reco...

Summary:The total syntheses of three C-37 methyl-alkenones with different degrees of unsaturation and of their C-13-labelled analogues from commercially available starting materials are presented herein for the first time. These molecules are important to improve the reliability of the measurements and reconstructions of the sea surface temperature and salinity.
