Abstract
Incubations of [1‐14C]linoleic acid or [1‐14C]‐(9Z.11E, 13S)‐13‐hydropero xy‐9,11‐octadecadienoic acid (13‐HPOD) with juice of garlic bulbs lead to the formation of one predominant labelled product, viz., the novel divinyl ethery (9Z,11E, 1′E)‐12‐(1′‐hexenyloxy)‐9,11‐odecadienoic acid (‘etheroleic acid’). With lesser efficiency [1‐14C]α‐linolenic acid or [1‐14C](9Z,11E,13S,15Z)‐13‐hydroperoxy‐9,11,15‐octadecatrienoic acid (13‐HPOT) are converted in this way into (9Z,11E,1′E,3′Z)‐12‐(1′,3′‐hexadienyloxy)‐9,11‐dodecadienoic acid (‘etherolenic acid’). Thus, garlic bulbs possess the activity of a new 13‐hydroperoxide‐specific divinyl ether synthase.
