In spite of the importance of optically pure unsaturated hydroperoxides in biology, chemistry, and medicine, no general methodfor synthesizing these labile compounds has been reported. We have developed a chiral vinyl ether that reacts with racemic hydroperoxides to give diastereomeric perketals in high yield. These perketals can be separated by liquid chromatography and thechiral group removed to provide highly enriched hydroperoxide enantiomers (> 99% enantiomeric excess). The chiral reagent that has been most successful in our hands is the 2-propenyl ether derived from írans-2-phenylcyclohexanol. By use of this vinyl ether, perketals are readily formed from hydroperoxides, they are stable to normal-and reverse-phase chro-matography, and the hydroperoxide is regenerated from the perketal without racemization in high yield with mild acid. Several chiral hydroperoxides have been resolved by this procedure:-phenethyl hydroperoxide, 2-octyl hydroperoxide, and a number of hydroperoxides derived from oleic, linoleic, and arachidonic acids.Fatty acid hydroperoxides are formed by a lipoxygenase enzyme catalyzed conversion of polyunsaturated fatty acids (1). These hydroperoxides serve as important interme-diates in the formation of diverse compounds of biological importance. For example, fatty acid hydroperoxides are precursors to the leukotrienes (2) and the lipoxins (3), and recently a new biochemical pathway involving the con-version of fatty acid hydroperoxides to aliene oxides has been reported in flax, corn, and coral (4). A new stereocenter is generated in the lipoxygenase reaction, and fatty acid hydroperoxides isolated from natural sources are essentially one enantiomer if formed enzymatically (1, 5). For example, the 13 (S)-hydroperoxide is formed when soybean lipoxygenase acts on linoleic acid, while this enzyme gives the 15 (S)-hydroperoxide, 15 (5)-HPETE, 1 when arachidonic acid is the substrate. On the other hand, lipoxygenase enzyme in coral converts ara-chidonic acid into 8 (/?)-HPETE (4). Nonenzymatic aut-oxidation of fatty acid substrates also gives fatty acid hydroperoxides (5), and racemic mixtures are formed in this process (6).
