Abstract
Abstract Methyl erucate has been separated from the mixed esters of the fatty acids obtained from the seed oil of Crambe abyssinica. Oxidative cleavage of erucic acid to give brassylic and pelar-gonic acids has been examined. The brassylic acid yield by nitric acid oxidation is less than that from reaction with potassium permanganate which in turn is less productive than ozonolysis. The overall yield of high-purity brassylic acid is 62.4% based on the methyl erucate fraction or 36.4% referred to the seed oil.
