Origin of the Oxygen Atom in the Furan Ring of F Acids Incubation experiments with 18 O 2 gas on suspension cultures of Saccharum spec. demonstrate that the oxygen atom in the furan ring of F acids 1 is derived from the air. This result points to the participation of lipoxygenase systems in the biosynthesis of these compounds. Specific incorporation into the furan ring, using an apparatus with 18 O 2 influx in portions, was confirmed by GC/MS analysis of the tetrahydofuran derivatives 2 , obtained by esterification and hydrogenation of the corresponding furan derivatives 1 .
