Abstract
AbstractConditions have been established for converting some methyl esters of halogen hydroxy fatty acids to keto esters in high yields of 90% of isolated product, by the action of mercuric sulfate and sulfuric acid in methanol. Investigation of the same conversion using silver nitrate has shown the formation of dihydroxy acid parallel with the keto ester. The crude reaction mixture was separated into fraction by column chromatography.
