Abstract: | Summary Jojoba oil is a liquid wax composed essentially of C20 and C22 straight-chain monoethylenic acids and alcohols in the form of esters. Sodium reduction of the wax fatty esters in jojoba
oil yielded quantitatively a mixture of unsaturated, long-chain alcohols from the acid moiety of the jojoba oil. Yields of
about 91% were obtained in the laboratory-scale experiments and 82 to 86 for the pilot-plant experiments. Analytical data,
including detailed infrared spectra information, are given for the resulting product alcohols.
