Abstract: | A mixture containing 37% cyclic and 63% straight-chain fatty acids, made by high-temperature treatment of linseed oil fatty
acids with alkali, was separated by the urea adduct method to give unsaturated cyclic fatty acids (nonadduct) in 95% purity
and 90–95% yeild. Previous reports from this Laboratory describe a process for separating cyclic fatty acids from stearic
acid by hydrogenation followed by crystallization at −40C. The urea adduct method avoids hydrogenation and low-temperature
crystallization, and furthermore, unsaturated cyclic and unsaturated straight-chain products can be recovered as individual
fractions. Then, by readducting the unsaturated straight-chain fatty acid fraction, the small amounts of palmitic and stearic
acids are removed leaving an unsaturated fraction containing oleic, nonconjugated and conjugated linoleic and some unsaturated
cyclic fatty acids.
