Overview of the sequential oxidation of oleic acid to 8-hydroperoxyoctadecenoic acid (HPOME) and to allene oxides by 8R- and 8S-DOX-AOS. The two allene oxides, 8R(9)- and 8S(9)-epoxy-9-octadecamonoenoic acids (EOMEs), are mainly hydrolyzed to α-ketols by inversion of configuration at C-8 (solid arrows).
