Enol Ether Epoxides and Products Resulting from Their Reaction with Nucleophiles1,2-Epoxydecyl pentyl ether (9a) was synthesized by treatment of 1-decenyl pentyl ether (5) with diemthyldioxirane (8). The enol ether epoxide 9a, characterized by its mass, 1H- and 13C-NMR spectra, reacts readily with hydride, O-, S- and N-nucleophiles. Similar reactions are expected to take place in the organism after biological oxidation of plasmalogens to their epoxides. This hypothesis is verified by detection of mixed acetals after tissue workup.
