Either 9‐hydroperoxy‐ trans ‐10, cis ‐12‐octadecadienoic acid or 13‐hydroperoxy‐ cis ‐9, trans ‐11‐octadecadienoic acid was treated with the catalyst, cysteine‐FeCl 3 , in the presence of oxygen. Oxohydroxyoctadecenoic acids were among the many products formed as a result of hydroperoxide decomposition. A mixture of 9(13)‐oxo‐13(9)‐hydroxy‐ trans ‐11(10)‐octadecenoic acids (δ‐ketols) was produced from either isomeric hydroperoxide. The formation of isomeric δ‐ketols from 9‐hydroxy‐ trans ‐12,13‐epoxy‐ trans ‐10‐octadecenoic acid (epoxyol), a known product of 13‐hydroperoxy‐ cis ‐9, trans ‐11‐octadecadienoic acid decomposition, implies that the epoxyol is an intermediate. The mechanism was elucidated by the facile conversion of the epoxyol (methyl ester_ to methyl 9(13)‐oxo‐13(9)‐hydroxy‐ trans ‐11(10)‐octadecenoates with a Lewis acid, BF 3 ‐etherate.
