Reaction scheme for the formation of a 10,16-dihydroxyhexadecanoyl dimer from two molecules of 2-MHG in sequential steps. In subsequent reactions, the dimer serves as the substrate for the second step, yielding increasingly larger products. Minor amounts of acyl migrated product are also formed in vitro (see Figure 3 and Figure S1).
