Cyclization of eleostearic acid

Abstract: Summary Methyl eleostearate has been thermally cyclized in good yields, and a concentrate of the cyclic product has been prepared. Using small amounts, a technique has been devised for a) aromatization of the resultant cyclohexadiene, b) oxidation to orthophthalic acid, and c) characterization of the acid as the anhydride and the imide. The significance of cyclic fatty acids in industrial processes is discussed.

“…Our results on the structure of the cyclic monomer are similar to those of Paschkc and Wheeler (5) in that a) dehydrogenation followed by oxidation gave o-phthalic acid in similar yield to theirs (17 % against 20%); b) it is agreed that the postulated dialkylcyclohexadiene type of structure is present. We have however considered the mixture of isomers which constitutes the cyclic monomer in more detail and discuss this below.…”

“…Its ultraviolet spectrum, which is shown in Figure l(a), is very different from that recorded by Pasehke and Wheeler (5). 71 °, with p-toluenesulfonic acid as catalyst2 Some 115 g. of this ester were heated in a sealed evacuated ampoule for 41~ hrs.…”
