Abstract
Unsaturated fatty acids [C8H17CH = CH(CH2)(n)CO2H] (n = 7, 11) acids are cl eanly dihydroxylated by hydrogen peroxide in the presence of catalytic amou nts of H2WO4. Under molecular oxygen, in the presence of catalytic amounts of N-hydroxyphthalimide and Co(acac)(3), the diols resulting from erucic (n =11) and oleic (n = 7) acid undergo C-C cleavage.
