Through the action of N-bromosuccinimide in aqueous glyme, terminal double bond of n-3 fatty acids was selectively converted to the corresponding bromohydrin. This evidence suggests the tight conformation of the n-3 fatty acids in aqueous medium.

Abstract
Reaction of N,N‐dibromobenzene sulfonamide (NNDBS) with terminal olefinic fatty acid methyl ester (methyl undecenoate) afforded a mixture of one major and two minor compounds as revealed by TLC. Isolation and purification of the individual compounds were achieved by column chromatography. IR and NMR spectral studies characterised these to be methyl 10‐bromo‐11‐(N‐benzene sulfonamido)‐undecanoate, methyl 10,11‐dibromoundecanoate and methyl 10‐bromo‐11‐hydroxyundecanoate. Benzene sulfonamide adduct has been cyclized with base to N‐sulfonylaziridine. Ring opening of aziridine with sodium methoxide finally yielded methyl 10‐(N‐benzene sulfonamido)‐11‐methoxy undecanoate.
