Abstract
Alpha-linolenic acid (ALA, C18:3 n-3) is the major polyunsaturated acid in plant membranes. During an oxidative stress, the non-enzymatic radical peroxidation of this acid would lead to tetrahydrofuran metabolites called phytofurans (PhytoFs). In order to bring into light their existence and to study their biological activities, we develop a divergent and flexible strategy to access to these metabolites.
