Photosensitised oxidation of (9E,11E)-methyl octadeca-9,11-dienoate gave an unsaturated cyclic peroxide (epidioxide) in high yield.This was characterised spectroscopically.The peroxide underwent facile rearrangement to a furanoid ester under a variety of reaction conditions.Catalytic reduction of the unsaturated peroxide cleaved the O-O bond.Bromination and epoxidation gave dibromo and epoxy esters respectively with the peroxide group still intact.
