Abstract
Enol Ether Epoxides and Products Resulting from Their Reaction with Nucleophiles1,2‐Epoxydecyl pentyl ether (9a) was synthesized by treatment of 1‐decenyl pentyl ether (5) with diemthyldioxirane (8). The enol ether epoxide 9a, characterized by its mass, 1H‐ and 13C‐NMR spectra, reacts readily with hydride, O‐, S‐ and N‐nucleophiles. Similar reactions are expected to take place in the organism after biological oxidation of plasmalogens to their epoxides. This hypothesis is verified by detection of mixed acetals after tissue workup.
