Abstract
SummaryA new, direct method for hydroxylation of methyl oleate and related fatty materials is described. Yields of 74% methyl 9,10-dihydroxystearate have been obtained directly by use of hydrogen peroxide catalyzed by 4% cross-linked cationic exchange resins. An interfering side-reaction is the formation of an hydroxy polyether. No effort has been made to characterize the polyether which probably exists as a mixture of several polyethers.
