1-Octene [111-66-0] |
| Theoretical prediction: In mammals 1-Octene (1) can be epoxidized at the double bond by cytochrome P450 to yield 2-hexyloxirane (2). The epoxide may be hydrolyzed by epoxide hydrolase to 1,2-octanediol (3). 1,2-Octanediol may undergo an oxidation by alcohol dehydrogenase to give 2-hydroxyoctanal (4), which is further oxidized by aldehyde dehydrogenase to 2-hydroxyoctanoic acid (5). 2-Hydroxyoctanoic acid (5) may be metabolized completely using the fatty acid metabolism pathway. Ultimate product will be acetate (6). Alternative reaction pathways may be possible that are not shown here. |
