Abstract: | An isomeric mixture of linoleic acid hydroperoxides, 13-hydroperoxy-cis-9,trans-11-octadecadienoic acid (79%) and 9-hydroperoxy-cis-12,trans-10-octadecadienoic acid (21%), was decomposed homolytically by Fe(II) in an ethanol-water solution. In one series of experiments, the hydroperoxides were decomposed by catalytic concentrations of Fe(II). The 10−5 M Fe(III) used to initiate the decomposition was kept reduced as Fe(II) by a high concentration of cysteine added to the reaction in molar excess of the hydroperoxides. Nine different monomeric (no detectable dimeric) fatty acids were identified from the reaction. Analyses of these fatty acids revealed that they were mixtures of positional isomers identified as follows: (I) 13-oxo-trans,trans-(andcis,trans-) 9,11-octadecadienoic and 9-oxo-trans,trans- (andcis,trans-) 10,12-octadecadienoic acids; (II) 13-oxo-trans-9,10-epoxy-trans-11-octadecenoic and 9-oxo-trans-12, 13-epoxy-trans-10-octadecenoic acids; (III) 13-oxo-cis-9,10-epoxy-trans-11-octadecenoic and 9-oxo-cis-12, 13-epoxy-trans-10-octadecenoic acids; (IV) 13-hydroxy-9,11-octadecadienoic and 9-hydroxy-10,12-octadecadienoic acids; (V) 11-hydroxy-trans-12, 13-epoxy-cis-9-octadecenoic and 11-hydroxy-trans-9, 10-epoxy-cis-12-octadecenoic acids; (VI) 11-hydroxy-trans-12, 13-epoxy-trans-9-octadecenoic and 11-hydroxy-trans-9,10-epoxy-trans-12-octadecenoic acids; (VII) 13-oxo-9-hydroxy-trans-10-octadecenoic acids; (VIII) isomeric mixtures of 9, 12, 13-dihydroxyethoxy-trans-10-octadecenoic and 9, 10, 13-dihydroxyethoxy-trans-11-octadecenoic acids; and (IX) 9, 12, 13-trihydroxy-trans-10-octadecenoic and 9, 10, 13-trihydroxy-trans-11-octadecenoic acids. In another experiment, equimolar amounts of Fe(II) and hydroperoxide were reacted in the absence of cysteine. A large proportion of dimeric fatty acids and a smaller amount of monomeric fatty acids resulted. The monomeric fatty acids were examined by gas liquid chromatography-mass spectroscopy. Spectra indicated that the monomers were largely similar to those produced by the Fe(III)-cysteine reaction. Presented in part at the American Chemical Society Meeting, Los Angeles, March 1974.
