Abstract
AbstractUnsaturated fatty compounds such as oleic acid, which are of interest as renewable raw materials, can be functionalized at the C,C‐double bond by Lewis acid induced addition reactions. The products are branched and highly functionalized fatty compounds which may have interesting properties. SnCl4‐induced additions of nitriles to methyl oleate and ethyl 10‐undecenoate give the corresponding esters of the N‐acylamino fatty acids. Alkylaluminium halide induced ene additions of formaldehyde to unsaturated fatty compounds yield primary homoallylic alcohols. β,γ‐Unsaturated ketones are obtained in ethylaluminium dichloride induced Friedel‐Crafts acylations of unsaturated fatty compounds with acyl chlorides and cyclic anhydrides.
