NMR and Computational Studies as Analytical and High-Resolution Structural Tool for Complex Hydroperoxides and Diastereomeric <i>Endo</i>-Hydroperoxides of Fatty Acids in Solution-Exemplified by Methyl Linolenate

A combination of selective 1D Total Correlation Spectroscopy (TOCSY) and <sup>1</sup>H-<sup>13</sup>C Heteronuclear Multiple Bond Correlation (HMBC) NMR techniques has been employed for the identification of methyl linolenate primary oxidation products without the need for la...
