Results from isotopic and incorporation experiments are consistent with formation of calendic acid form linoleic acid via a rearranged allyl radical, with loss of a hydrogen atom; since appropriate 9-hydroxy- and 9-hydroperoxy-diene acids were not converted into calendic acid by marigold seed homogenate, an elimination mechanism for formation of the 8(E)-double bond is not supported.
