There are two kinds of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA). Alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) is the parent n-3 PUFA; it cannot be synthesized by the human body and as a result is an essential fatty acid. The two long chain n-3 PUFA eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) can in princi

β¦ Synopsis
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.
