Streamlined One‐Pot Synthesis of Nitro Fatty Acids

A novel method for the synthesis of nitro fatty acids (NFAs), an intriguing class of endogenously occurring lipid mediators, is reported. This one‐pot procedure enables the controlled and stereoselective construction of nitro fatty acids from a simple set of common building blocks in a highly facile manner. Thereby, this methodology offers a streamlined, highly modular access to naturally occurring nitro fatty acids as well as non‐natural NFA derivatives.
