Abstract: | Ozonization of the methyl esters of 11-eicosenoic, linoleic, erucic and linolenic acids gave a number of different homologous
methyl ω-formylalkanoates. Complete ozonization of the monounsaturated esters formed C11 and C13 compounds with 90% conversion; partial ozonization of the polyunsaturated esters gave C12 and C15 products with maximum conversions at ca. 75% consumption of fatty ester. Thus, methyl linoleate gave 52 and 23% conversions
to the 9- and 12-carbon products, and methyl linolenate gave 29, 27 and 19% conversions to the 9-, 12- and 15-carbon products.
Yields of aldehyde or acetal esters in distilled products were 70–90% in preparative-scale experiments. Kinetic analysis showed
that ozone attack was essentially random. Methanol was used as a participating solvent.
