Abstract
AbstractBenzoic acid adds to oleic acid in methanesulfonic acid as catalyst‐solvent to form an addition product in 30% yield. Saponification studies on the product reveal that the addition is made via the carboxyl group and no rearrangement of the initial product takes place. A number of substituted benzoic acids were also tried but the yield of addition product was nil. Data are included for the experiments with a number of phenols not previously reported. These include: o‐chlorophenol,2,6‐di‐tert.‐butylphenol, 2,4,6‐trichlorophenol, resorcinol, 5‐n‐pentadecylresorcinol, hydroquinone, methyl salicylate, and 3‐n‐pentadecylphenol. Good yields of addition products of cyclohexene are obtained using methanesulfonic acid as catalyst‐solvent and the same nucleophiles employed previously.
