Resumo

Abstract Electrophylic bromination via α‐anion esters (ester enolates) of polyunsaturated carboxylic acids has been achieved by the use of diethyl dibromomalonate as a mild source of positive bromine. 2‐Bromo‐ cis ‐8, cis ‐11, cis ‐14‐eicosatrienoic acid has been prepared, in 27% yield via the tert ‐butyl ester. Final purification of the acid could be successfully attained only after application of ion‐exchange chromatography on DEAE‐cellulose.
