Fd. Gunstone, HIGH-RESOLUTION C-13 NMR-STUDY OF SYNTHETIC BRANCHED-CHAIN ACIDS AND OF WOOL WAX ACIDS AND ISOSTEARIC ACID, Chemistry and physics of lipids, 65(2), 1993, pp. 155-163
The C-13 NMR spectra of 28 branched-chain acids (including two from th
e literature) have been recorded and assigned. These range from C6 to
C18 in chain length. They are mainly methyl-branched but include also
C2, C3, C4, C5, C6, and C-16 branches. On the basis of these results t
he branched-chain acids in wool grease and the industrially produced i
sostearic acid have been examined.
