1-Pentene is generated by decomposition of omega-6 unsaturated fatty a
cid hydroperoxides. It is transformed under physiological conditions i
n presence of plant or mammalian liver enzymes to 1-pentene epoxide wh
ich can be trapped by reaction with thiophenol. The reaction products
were identified by comparing their mass spectra with those of authenti
c material.
