Abstract: | Liquid C-18 saturated monocarboxylic acids, which are termed “cylic acids” because they contain a ring structure, have been
prepared by the action of excess sodium hydroxide on linseed oil in ethylene glycol at elevated temperatures, followed by
distillation and hydrogenation of the resulting free fatty acid monomers and by separation of the straight-chain components
by low-temperature crystallization from acetone. In a survey of other possible catalysts and reaction conditions, cyclic acid
yields were improved from the previously reported 32.4 g to 43.5 g of cyclic acid per 100 g of linseed fatty acids by removing
water from the starting materials and using the monosodium derivative of ethylene glycol as catalyst. The corresponding amount
of polymer formed decreased because of a decrease in hydroxylation and subsequent polyester formation.
