Lineoleic acid

In subsequent work, Hamberg has reported that anerobic oxidation of lineolic acid by cumene hydroperoxide catalyzed hy sperm whale Mb results in formation of five products, the two major products being ll(i ,S)-hydroylinoleic acid (29% 5deld) and ( )cis-9,10-epoxy-(12Z)-octadecenoic acid (16%) (235). In this work, it was proposed that the second oxidizing equivalent required for substrate hydroxylation was probably provided by a protein-centered radical. 

Three reviews have appeared on pigment photocatalysis. Light stabilisers and pigments are generally effective in polyolefins especially carbon black which has been surface oxidised with nitric acid. Photocatalytic effects of titanium dioxide have been examined through the photohydroperoxidation of lineolic acid. ...
