Abstract: | Marine organisms, especially marine algae, are extremely rich in a diversity of novel oxylipin structures. Many of these oxylipins
contain functionalities and rings of a type and location unknown in mammalian systems. In this perspective reviewing marine
oxylipins, a proposal is formulated for the central intermediacy of an epoxy allylic carbocation in the biogenesis of these
diverse structures. This proposal is strengthened by the relatively large number of examples which are consistent with this
type of mechanistic transformation. |
