Incorporation of 18 O 2 and H 2 18 O into the secondary alcohol moiety of wax esters in the grasshopper Melanoplus sanguinipes was determined by mass spectrometry. Results of this study show that oxygen‐18 from 18 O 2 was incorporated into the secondary alcohol, whereas no incorporation of oxygen‐18 from H 2 18 O was detected. The data suggest that the reaction, which hydroxylates n‐alkanes at or near the center of the carbon chain, involves a mixed function oxidase type enzyme.
