Abstract

Chiral [^2^H] ‐labelled methylene groups flanked by two double bonds within (poly)unsaturated fatty acids are readily available from trans‐2,3‐epoxy[2,3‐^2^H~2~] alk‐4‐yn‐l‐ols, obtained in their turn by asymmetric epoxidation of the corresponding (E)‐[2,3‐^2^H~2~] alk‐2‐en‐4‐yn‐l‐ols (see Scheme 3). The procedure is exemplified for (8S,3Z,6Z,9Z)‐[7,8‐^2^H~2~] trideca‐3,6,9‐trienoic acid ((8__S__)‐11) and (8__R__)‐11 (Scheme 4) as well as for (5__S__,3__Z__,6__Z__)‐[4,5^−2^H~2~]deca‐3,6‐dienoic acid ((5__S__)‐13) and (5__R__)‐13 (Scheme 5).
