Abstract
Oxidation of sterculic acid by aqueous alkaline permanganate gave 9,11-dioxononadecanoic acid. Oxidation of sterculic acid by peracetic acid gave a mixture of 9-oxononadec-10-enoic and 11-oxononadec-9-enoic acids. Acetolysis of malvalic acid gave a mixture of 8-hydroxy-9-methylene-heptadecanoic and 9-hydroxy-8-methylene-heptadecanoic acids. Seed oil of Pterospermum acerifolium Willd. (family Sterculiaceae) contained malvalic acid as its major cyclopropenoid component. It comprised about 16% of the total fatty acids.
