Abstract: | Autoxidation of Methyl Linoleate in Water V: Isolation and Identification of Some Medium Chain Carboxylic Acids From the product of autoxidation of methyl linoleate the following carboxylic acids were isolated and identified as their N,N-dimethyl-p-aminobenzolazophenacyl esters: monomethyl suberate, α-hydroxy oenanthic acid, 4-hydroxy-2-transnonenoic acid, 4-hydroxy-12-carbmethoxy-2-trans-dodecenoic acid, and an ω-carbmethoxy carboxylic acid of unknown chain length. |
