Abstract

AbstractOzonisation of methyl oleate in light petroleum at 10° yielded six ozonides. They were characterised as the three possible pairs of “cis‐” and “trans‐” isomers, which can be predicted on the basis of Criegee's theory. Our results indicate that a complete breakdown occurs of the oleate molecule into “zwitter‐ionic” and aldehydic fragments. Hence we exclude a mechanism proposed by Milas, where a complete breakdown of the molecule does not take place.
