The synthesis of behenyl CoA by the reaction of coenzyme A with N-hydroxysuccinimide ester of behenic acid is reported. This method gives better yields of behenyl CoA when compared to the acid chloride or mixed anhydride method where side reactions seem to cause a decrease in yield.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
