Abstract
Thermal reaction of methyl linoleate in the presence of iodine was carried out under various conditions, and the relation between the amount of the methyl linoleate decreased and the amounts of the methyl octadecenoates and of the methyl conj. octadecadienoates formed was investigated. Moreover, the reactions of methyl linoleate with hydrogen iodide and of methyl 9, 11-octadecadienoate with hydrogen iodide were carried out, and the double bond distributions of methyl octadecenoates formed by the reactions were analyzed, respectively.The results indicated that in the case of methyl linoleate, methyl octadecenoates were mainly obtained by 1, 2-addition of hydrogen iodide to conj. dienes formed by the isomerization of methyl linoleate and subsequent displacement of iodo group with hydrogen.
