Notes:
Origin of the Oxygen Atom in the Furan Ring of F AcidsIncubation experiments with 18O2 gas on suspension cultures of Saccharum spec. demonstrate that the oxygen atom in the furan ring of F acids 1 is derived from the air. This result points to the participation of lipoxygenase systems in the biosynthesis of these compounds. Specific incorporation into the furan ring, using an apparatus with 18O2 influx in portions, was confirmed by GC/MS analysis of the tetrahydofuran derivatives 2, obtained by esterification and hydrogenation of the corresponding furan derivatives 1.
