Materials. The samples of l,2-dimyristoyl-3-lecithin (L-configura-tion) and l,2-didecanoyl-3 lecithin (L-configuration) were respectively donated by Erich Baer, Banting and Best Institute, Toronto, Canada, and D. Chapman, Unilever Research Laboratories, Welwyn Garden City, England. All other materials were obtained from the Applied Science Laboratories, State College, Pa. All materials examined were synthesized and purified chromatographically.

For the study of the physical and chemical properties of triply unsaturated fatty acids and for the comparison with y-linolenoic acid [6Z,9Z.12Z)-6,9,l2-octadeca-trienoic acid] coworkers of the Unilever Research Centre in Vlaardingen (Netherlands) synthesized some methyl esters of ( ,Z,Z)-trisunsaturated fatty acids 73). For the preparation of the esters of (2E,9Z, 12Z)-2,9,12-octadecatrienoic acid and of (2 ,11Z,14Z)-2,11,14-eicosatrienoic acid (68 a and b) they used the Wittig reaction to introduce the ( )-2-double bond into the starting diunsaturated aldehyde. Reduction of the acid chlorides of (7Z,10Z)-7,10-hexadecadienoie acid and of linolenoic acid (65a and b) with lithium tri-tert-butoxyaluminium hydride affords the corresponding aldehydes 66 a and b which can be olefinated with the stable ylide 67 to methyl ( ,Z,Z)-alkatrienoates 68a, b with a (Z)-2-isomer content of 4.6%73) (Scheme 13). 

We would also like to thank SERC and Unilever Research Limited for financial support in the form of a CASE studentship for GH.
