โฆ Synopsis
Alkylation of long-chain saturated, unsaturated and unsaturated hydroxy fatty acids with ethereal diazomethane was investigated. Upon reaction with ethereal diazomethane, fatty acids dissolved in a minimal volume of diethyl ether/methanol (9:1) produced 98---99% methyl ester. Omission of methanol caused the formation of 10---40% side products. The side products from octadeca-9,12-dienoic and 13-hydroxy-octadeca-9,11-dienoic acid were isolated and conclusively identified as 2-hydroxyethyl esters by ~3C-NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry.
