    Abstract:
    The allene oxide synthase (AOS) pathway is widespread in plants. Its products, such as cyclopentenone 12-oxo-10,15-phytodienoic acid (12-oxo-PDA) and related jasmonates, play important biological roles in plants. We found that 12-oxo-PDA in some plant tissues co-occur with an unknown minor oxylipin 1. In vitro incubations of AOSs with α-linolenic acid 13(S)-hydroperoxide reliably afforded 1 along with 12-oxo-PDA and α-ketol. A similar oxylipin 3 was formed during the AOS conversions of γ-linolenic acid 9(S)-hydroperoxide. Linoleic acid hydroperoxides formed neither products similar to 1 and 3 nor cyclopentenones. Oxylipins 1 and 3 were purified and identified as the products of Favorskii-type rearrangement, (2'Z,4Z)-2-(2'-pentenyl)-4-tridecene-1,13-dioic acid and (2'Z,4Z)-2-(2'-octenyl)-4-decene-1,10-dioic acid, respectively. Detection of Favorskii products 1 and 3 demonstrates that cyclopropanones are short-lived AOS products along with allene oxides. The observed parallels between the Favorskii product 1 and 12-oxo-PDA formation suggests that cyclopropanone is either a byproduct or a precursor of 12-oxo-PDA.
