F. Naqvi et al., PSEUDOHALOGENATION OF METHYL 9-HYDROXY-CIS-12-OCTADECENOATE AND 12-HYDROXY-CIS-9-OCTADECENOATE, Journal of the American Oil Chemists' Society, 74(6), 1997, pp. 713-717
Pseudohalogenation of methyl 9-hydroxy-cis-12-octadecenoate (I) and me
thyl 12-hydroxy-cis-9-octadecenoate (II) has been carried out with N,N
-dibromobenzenesulfonamide (NNDBS). Compounds I and II, on reaction wi
th NNDBS, formed four and three products, respectively. The interestin
g feature of these reactions was the formation of 1,4-epoxy compounds.
The structures of individual compounds were established with the help
of elemental and spectral analysis.
