โฆ Synopsis
The methyl esters of some mono-unsaturated fatty acids have been methylthiolated by the iodine-catalysed addition of dimethyl disulfide across the double bond. The resulting derivatives are suitable for gas chromatography. The fragmentation of the derivatives on electron impact yields mass spectra which allow immediate recognition of the position of the original double bond.

Fhe carbon magnetic resonance spectra of many fatty acid methyl esters with cis and trans double bonds and triple bonds at various positions and in many different combinations have been investigated. The influence of the ester group on double and triple bonds in the fatty acid chain depends strongl
Methylesters of polyenoic fatty acids (FAE) with up to six double bonds can be transformed to polyhydmxy derivatives by treatment with OsO 4. Under low energy electron impact the trimethylsilyloxy (O-TMS) derivatives of these polyenoic fatty acids exhibit mass spectro metric fragmentation patterns t
Trimethylsilylated methyl esters of octadecadienoic, eicosadienoic, and octadecatrienoic acids, after stereospecific oxidation, were investigated by combined gas chromatography-chemical ionization mass spectrometry. Molecular weight could be determined by the ions at m/e(M -1)' and (M + 73)+ and the
The paper discusses the methods of determination of the position of unsaturated bonds in a chain of acids, the determination of the sum of conjugated unsaturated bonds and the composition of the fatty acids. The position of unsaturated bonds in acids of modified oils may be determined most quickly b
