Abstract
AbstractThe alcoholysis of crambe and camelina oils was carried out with oleyl alcohol, alcohols derived from crambe and camelina oils, and n‐octanol using potassium hydroxide as catalyst to prepare alkyl esters. Conversions to alkyl esters were about 0% with oleyl alcohol, 20–45% with crambe and camelina alcohols, and 60% with n‐octanol. The conversion to esters for crambe and camelina oil with oleyl alcohol and n‐octanol increased with increasing molar excess of alcohol. Composition of the alkyl esters formed was as expected from the composition of the reaction partners.
