Abstract
Optimized procedures are described for the synthesis of methyl 9(R)-hydroxyoctadecanoate ( 2) and methyl 9-oxo-octadecanoate ( 3) based on Dimorphotheca pluvialis seed oil. Simple countercurrent separation and Oppenauer oxidation (benzoquinone, aluminum t-butoxide) were applied to prepare 2 and 3 in more than 90% yield. The procedures are potentially applicable on industrial scale and well suited for upgrading aged oils.
