Abstract
A laboratory procedure was developed for hydrogenation of methyl esters of unsaturated fatty acids using decalin as a hydrogen-transfer agent and 10% Pd/C as catalyst. The esters of 10-undecenoic, oleic, elaidic, stearolic, linoleic, cycloaliphatic C21 di-, C22 tri- and C36 dicarboxylic acids, and a mixture of hydrnocarpic, chaulmoogric and gorlic acids were hydrogenated. Chromatographic and spectral analyses showed complete saturation. This procedure is simple, requiring no external source of hydrogen.
