(Z)-8-Heptadecenal, (Z,Z)-8, 11-heptadecadienal and 8,11,14-heptadecatrienal, were produced enzymatically from oleic, linoleic and linoleni.
Concise synthesis of (8Z,11Z,14Z)-8,11,14-heptadecatrienal, (7Z,10Z,13Z)-7,10,13-hexadecatrienal, and (8Z,11Z)-8,11-heptadecadienal, components of the essential oil of marine green alga Ulva pertusa

The long-chain aldehydes, (8Z,11Z,14Z)-8,11,14-heptadecatrienal, (7Z,10Z,13Z)-7,10,13-hexadecatrienal, and (8Z,11Z)-8,11-heptadecadienal, were concisely synthesized by using Grignard coupling, catalytic hydrogenation with the Lindlar catalyst, and oxidation with Dess-Martin periodinane as the key steps. Particularly, (8Z,11Z,14Z)-8,11,14-heptadecatrienal and (7Z,10Z, 13Z)-7,10,13-hexadecatrienal both possessed a seaweed-like odor.

The reaction of α-linolenic acid with crude enzyme (lipoxygenase) obtained from infected pumpkins led to the formation of 8Z,11Z,14Z-heptadecatrienal (noraldehyde) and its acid (noracid) in addition to 13S-hyroperoxy linolenic acid.Since the noraldehyde and its acid were also isolated from the crude enzyme reaction of other infected plants, their formation seems to be related with the pathogen-infection of higher plants.

The greater part of the enzyme activity producing long chain aldehydes (LCA) such as (8Z)-heptadecanal, (8Z,11Z)-heptadecadienal, (8Z,11Z,14Z)-heptadecatrienal was found in the 4000 g precipitate of homogenates of the green alga, Ulva pertusa.The LCA-forming activity was readily solubilized from the precipitate by addition of 0.2percent Triton X-100.The solubilized LCA-forming activity showed an optimum pH in the range 8.5-9.5. α-Linolenic acid was a very good substrate, but γ-linolenic acid was a poor substrate for the activity.Linoleic acid was the best substrate of an entire series of (ζ6Z, ζ9Z)-dienoic acids, in which the chain length varied from C13 to C20.Key Word Index - Ulva pertusa; green alga; odour; aldehydes; fatty acids; substrate specificity.
