Abstract
Abstract Methyl cis -9-octadecenoate was deuterated over platinum and palladium catalysts. Saturates as well as cis - and trans -octadecenoates were separated for subsequent oxidative cleavage, gas chromatography, and mass spectrometry. The observed migration and geometric isomerization of double bonds, the distribution of deuterium along the carbon chain, and the presence of hydrogen and also deuterium on the catalyst surface are collated by an extension of the Horiuti-Polanyi mechanism. These reactions were simulated by digital computer calculations of the proposed model.
