involving two copper-catalyzed alkyl–alkyl
coupling reactions has been designed to easily access doubly isotope-labeled
fatty acids. Such NMR- and IR-active compounds were obtained in excellent
overall yields and will be further used for determining the conformation
of an alkyl chain of lipidic biomolecules upon interaction with proteins.
