On the Preparation of DL-3-Selena- and DL-9-Selena-tuberculostearic Acids.

Abstract
The syntheses of two selenium-containing branched-chain fatty acids are reported. Through a multistep process a series of higher branched-chain intermediates, as well as some of their derivatives have been prepared. The effect of the incorporation of the selenium atom in two different positions in the chain and the comparison of selenium-containing acids and their amides with their normal analogues, are briefly described.
