Abstract
16-(4-Iodophenyl)hexadecanoic acid was prepared in six steps by two methods: from 6-(2-thienyl) hexanoic acid and 6-phenylhexanoyl chloride or by alkylation, or acylation, of 2-thienylthiophene. Mass and 1H NMR spectra of some prepared compounds are discussed. The synthesis is suitable for preparation of radioactively labelled acids used as myocardial imaging agents.
