<b>Ethylmethyldioxirane epoxidation of <i>Plukenetia cononophora</i> oil</b>

Abstract: Epoxidation of Plukenetia conophora oil by ethylmethyldioxirane has been studied. The epoxidation reaction was best accomplished using the Curci's biphasic method employing 2butanone as the solvent. Spectroscopic techniques (IR, 1 H NMR and 13 C NMR) indicated complete conversion of double bonds to epoxy groups. Overall, Oxone TM can be said to be an inexpensive oxidant that is easily handled and with demonstrated utility in preparing epoxidised oils from natural triglycerides.

“…In 2007, Akintayo reported complete conversion of the double bond in the epoxidation of Plukenetia conophora oil (Akintayo, 2007). Epoxidation of methyl oleate and methyl ricinoleate were reported by Sonnet affording the corresponding epoxides in excellent yield (Sonnet and Foglia, 1996).…”

“…In general, vegetable oils possess most of the necessary lubricity properties such as good contact lubrication, high viscosity index (lowest changes in viscosity with temperature), high flash point and low volatility. Above all, the presence of a high degree of unsaturation in vegetable oils led to low thermal and oxidative stability, which can be improved by epoxidation (Akintayo, 2007).…”

“…They used equations obtained from frequency of absorption bands of oils and composition data to predict the proportion of saturated, monounsaturated and polyunsaturated acyl groups in oil and lard. Akintayo (2007) and Akintayo et al (2015) employed FTIR spectroscopy in characterizing vegetable oils and their derivatives using the absorption frequencies to confirm the success of conversions.…”
