An. Grechkin et M. Hamberg, STEREOSPECIFIC SYNTHESIS OF NOVEL DIVINYL ETHER OXYLIPINS BY THE ENZYME FROM GARLIC BULBS, Bioorganiceskaa himia, 22(12), 1996, pp. 944-945
Oxidation of (9Z,11E,13R,S)-13-hydroperoxy-9,11-octadecadienoic acid b
y the synthase of divinyl ethers from garlic bulbs (Allium sativum L.)
was studied. The enzyme was found to be partially stereospecific, pre
ferentially using the (13S)-epimer of hydroperoxide.
