Site-specific deuteration of essential fatty acids towards the fight against ageing

The aim of this dissertation was to investigate non-catalytic and catalytic synthetic routes for crucial ROS-resistant deuterium labelled essential polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs). In order to perform selective catalytic H/D exchange of the bis-allylic position in methyl linoleate, a new complet...
