Abstract

Besides commercially available fatty acids, the long chain fatty acids such as arachidic (C20), tricosanoic (C23), tetracosanoic (C24) and pentacosanoic (C25) acids were synthesized from octadecyl bromide, heneicosyl bromide, and docosyl bromide by repetition of the modified malonic ester synthesis5). The condensation products of benzyl alkanetricarboxylates with acid chlorides were semisolid brown materials which were ...
