Abstract: | Products of the Thermal Ene-Reaction of Unsaturated Fatty Compounds and Maleic Anhydride The thermal ene reaction of the methylates of unsaturated fatty acids 10-undecenoic acid, oleic acid and (E)-10-eicosendioic acid with maleic anhydride was carried out at 190°C. The mono addition products were isolated and their stereochemistry was deduced from 1HNMR- and 13C-NMR-spectroscopy. |
