“…Briefly, the 9-hydroperoxide of linoleic acid (9-LA-OOH) was prepared by oxidation of linoleic acid with a crude homogenate of tomato fruit as described by Schneider et al [ 4 ]. 9-LA-OOH was protected as a peracetal and esterified to lyso-PC, after which the peracetal group was hydrolysed [ 14 , 17 ]. After column chromatography, PC-9-LA-OOH was obtained as a resinous solid, and its structure was confirmed by 1 H NMR and ESI-MS. 1 H NMR (500 MHz, CDCl 3 ) δ 0.87 (6H, m, CH 3 ×2), 1.28 (44H, m, CH 2 ×22), 1.58 (4H, m, OCOCH 2 CH 2 in each chain), 2.15 (2H, m, 8′-H), 2.28 (4H, t, OCOCH 2 in each chain), 3.30 (9H, s, NMe 3 ), 3.75 (2H, m, CH 2 N), 3.98 (2H, m, OCH 2 -CH-CH 2 O), 4.14 (1H, m, one proton of OCH 2 -CH-CH 2 O), 4.34 (4H, one proton of OCH 2 -CH-CH 2 O, OPOCH 2 , 13′-H), 5.22 (1H, m, CO-CH-CO), 5.44 (1H, m, 9-H), 5.57 (1H, dd, H-12), 5.97 (1H, t, 10-H), 6.46 (1H, dd, 11-H).…”
