Let \(X\) be a Hopf space and \(m : X\times X\to X\) be its multiplication. We denote by \(H(m):X*X\to\Sigma X\) the Hopf construction of \(m\), that is, \(H(m)(t,x,y)=(t,m(x,y))\). Recall that the Hopf construction of canonical multiplications of Hopf spaces \(S^1\), \(S^3\), \(S^7\) give well-known Hopf maps. For Hopf spaces given by localizing odd dimensional spheres, we obtain the following Theorem. Let \(p\) be an odd prime. Let \(\gamma\) be an element of the \(p\)-primary part of the stable homotopy group of sphere \((\pi^S_{2n-1})_{(p)}\), \(n>1\) and \(\gamma_{2n+1}\) be its representative in \(\pi_{4n}(S^{2n+1})_{(p)}\). Then there exists a multiplication \(\omega\) of \(S^{2n-1}_{(p)}\) such that \(\Sigma^2 H(\omega)=\gamma_{2n+1}\).
