Optimal production of 7,10-epoxy-octadeca-7,9-dienoic acid from 7,10-dihydroxy-8(E)-octadecenoic acid by heat treatment

In this report, we optimized reaction conditions for the efficient production of 7,10-EODA from DOD by heat treatment. Under optimal conditions tested, the maximum production yield of 7,10-EODA was 80% with incubation in hexane for at least 48 h at 85 °C or above.
