Chemical Structure



In chemical synthesis, (all-Z)-8,11,14,17-Eicosatetraenoic acid, also known as arachidonic acid, serves as a versatile building block due to its unsaturated nature and long carbon chain. This compound is commonly utilized in the production of various lipid-based materials, such as phospholipids, prostaglandins, and leukotrienes. Additionally, arachidonic acid can be employed as a precursor for the synthesis of epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs), which are potent signaling molecules involved in various physiological processes. Its ability to undergo selective oxidation reactions makes it a valuable component in the creation of bioactive compounds and pharmaceutical intermediates.
