Identification of decomposition products from autoxidation of methyl 4,7,10,13,16,19‐docosahexaenoate

This is a continuation of a previous publication in which a number of aldehydes, aldehyde esters, hydrocarbons, and methyl esters was identified among the oxidation products of methyl docosahexaenoate. In the present paper, the identification of certain keto‐esters, unsaturated ketones, cyclic esters, and furan derivatives also is reported. Mechanisms for the formation of these compounds are proposed.
