I don't know off hand how to synthesize it. I might be able to look into it later when I have more time. You're going to have to find ways to make a long carbon chain.
I know a lot of ways how to prepare long carbon carboxylic acid (Arndt- Eistert synthese >> I get 16 carbon carboxylic acid, but then I have got problem.. I dont know how the change it to be unsaturated ( double bond from 9th carbon, it must be in cis configuration) to be cis - 9 - hexadecenoic acid (palmitoleic)
