Abstract

In a recent paper from this Laboratory'it was shown that certain long-chain methyl esters react with chlorine to form mixtures and that attempts to find a method of determining the position of the substituent chlorine, using alkaline reagents, were unsuccessful. The results now reported were obtained by the use of sodium acetate in acetic acid solution. This reagent, acting on the monochloro ester fraction, gave products which could be ...
