Abstract Kinetics for consecutive reactions of octadecatrienoate to octadecadienoate to octadecenoate have been studied with the aid of radioisotopic tracers and gas chromatography. Evidence for a triene to monoene shunt has been obtained. Similarly, the chemical reduction with hydrazine has been studied, but no evidence for this anomalous behavior was obtained. Methods to determine reaction rates from these kinetic measurements are discussed.
