In an anaerobic system soya-bean lipoxygenase catalyses in the presence of linoleic acid and l-13-hydroperoxyoctadeca-cis-9-trans-11-dienoic acid the formation of dimeric fatty acids and of carbonyl compounds. The analogous reaction does not take place when d-9-hydroperoxyoctadeca-trans-10-cis-12-dienoic acid is used instead of the 13-hydroperoxy isomer. Non-oxygenated dimers stem directly from linoleic acid and have C(11)–C(13′) or –C(9′) and C(13)–C(13′) or –C(9′) linkages. Dimers that contain oxygen originate from linoleic acid and linoleic acid hydroperoxide. It is most likely that the oxygen is present in epoxy groups.

In an anaerobic system soya-bean lipoxygenase together with linoleic acid induces a structural rearrangement of 13-hydroperoxyoctadeca-cis-9-trans-11-dienoic acid leading to the formation of 13-oxotrideca-cis(trans)-9-trans-11-dienoic acid and n-pentane as well as 13-oxo-octadeca-9,11-dienoic acid. It is proposed that the 13-peroxyoctadeca-cis-9-trans-11-dienoic acid radical formed through hydrogen radical abstraction by the linoleic acid radical is the key intermediate for these reactions.

1. The mode of action of flax-seed hydroperoxide isomerase was studied in vitro by using as substrates linoleic acid hydroperoxides formed by soya-bean lipoxygenase. 2. The enzyme converts only 13-hydroperoxyoctadeca-cis-9-trans-11-dienoic acid, whereas the 9-hydroperoxy isomer does not react. 3. The isomerization product was identified by chemical and spectroscopic methods as 13-hydroxy-12-oxo-octadec-cis-9-enoic acid. 4. 12,13-Epoxyoleic acid isomers do not act as intermediates in the isomerization reaction. 5. Suggestions for a functional relationship between hydroperoxide isomerase and lipoxygenase are discussed.
