A gas chromatographic procedure was devised for the analysis of geometric isomers of dodecenyl acetates, tridecadienyl acetates, tetradecenyl acetates and hexadecenyl acetates. Use of diethylene glycol succinate in a 300 ft capillary column permitted the separation of nine pairs ofcis‐trans isomers and four geometric isomers of 5,9‐tridecadienyl acetate. Data are presented on the isomeric composition of alkenyl acetates prepared by three different stereospecific reactions and by elaidinization.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
