A new synthesis of Z-11-octadecenal, the sex pheromon of the wax moth Achroia grisella starting from the methyl 10-undecenoate is elaborated. - Key words: insect pheromone, stereoselective synthesis; Wittig reaction; hydroboration.

Sterol and fatty acid compositions were determined for Cochlodinium polykrikoides, a toxic, bloom-forming dinoflagellate of global significance. The major sterols were dinosterol (40% of total sterols), dihydrodinosterol (32%), and the rare 4α-methyl Δ8(14) sterol, amphisterol (23%). A minor sterol, 4α-methylergost-24(28)-enol was also detected (5.0%). The fatty acids had a high proportion of PUFAs (47%), consisting mainly of EPA (20%) and the relatively uncommon octadecapentaenoic acid (18: 5, 22%). While unlikely to be responsible for toxicity to fish, these lipids may contribute to the deleterious effects of this alga to invertebrates.
Oxygenation of monoenoic fatty acids by CYP175A1, an orphan cytochrome P450 from thermus thermophilus HB27

, p. 7880 - 7890 (2013/01/15)
The catalytic activity of CYP175A1 toward monooxygenation of saturated and monounsaturated fatty acids of various chain lengths (C16-C24) has been investigated to assess the enzymatic properties of this orphan thermostable cytochrome P450 enzyme. The resu
