Abstract: | Hydrogenation of linseed and soybean methyl esters was achieved at 100–180C, 100–1000 psi H2 and 0.05–0.25 moles catalyst per mole of ester. The relative activity of metal acetylacetonates in decreasing order was:
nickel (III), cobalt (III), copper (II) and iron (III). Reduction occurred readily in methanol solution but only slowly in
dimethylformamide and acetic acid. No reduction occurred in the absence of solvents. Soybean oil was also hydrogenated rapidly
with nickel (III) acetylacetonate in methanol, but in this system the triglycerides were converted to methyl esters. Nickel
(III) acetylacetonate was the most selective catalyst toward linolenate hydrogenation. Methyl linoleate and linolenate hydrogenated
with nickel(III) acetylacetonate were fractionated into monoenes, dienes and trienes. Thecis monoenes separated in 62 to 68% yield had double bonds in the original position. The remainingtrans monoenes had extensively scattered unsaturation. The dienes and trienes showed no conjugation, but some of the double bonds
in the dienes were not conjugatable with alkali. Little stearate was formed.
