A method for providing a purified conjugated fatty acid is disclosed. The purified conjugated fatty acid is formed by separating by liquid chromatography a conjugated fatty acid formed by a novel synthesis of reacting an ester of a fatty acid having a four carbon chain such that carbon one bears one hydrogen and one hydroxyl group, carbon two bears two hydrogen atoms, and a double bond is positioned between carbon three and carbon four, with a tosyl chloride or a mesyl chloride to form a tosylate or mesylate of said ester, and reacting the tosylate or mesylate of said ester with diazabicyclo-undecene. Reacting an ester of a fatty acid having a four carbon chain such that carbon one bears one hydrogen and one hydroxyl group, carbon two bears two hydrogen atoms, a double bond is positioned between carbon three and carbon four, with a tosyl chloride or a mesyl chloride to form a tosylate or mesylate of said ester, and reacting the tosylate or mesylate of said ester with diazabicyclo-undecene forms a conjugated fatty acid having a purity greater than 50%, and separating by liquid chromatography forms a conjugated fatty acid having a purity greater than 90%. In one aspect, the liquid chromatography uses a strong acid macroreticular ion exchange resin. In one aspect, the liquid chromatography includes silver ion liquid chromatography.
