Experiments with [9,10,12,13-2H4]linoleic acid on the formation of 9-[nona-(1′E),(3′Z)-dienyloxy]non-(8E)-enoic (colneleic) acid and (13R)-hydroxy-12-oxo-octadec-(9Z)-enoic acid by plant enzymes

Abstract

The fate of four olefinic deuterium atoms in labelled linoleic acid is followed into colneleic acid and an α-hydroxy ketone, both enzymically produced, and is consistent with proposed mechanisms of formation for these products.
