β¦ Synopsis
Some saturated and unsaturated mercapto Cl8 esters have been obtained for the first time. Such compounds are prepared from hydroxy esters via their mesyloxy derivatives by reaction with sodium hydrogen sulphide or with potassium thioacetate (followed by deacetylation) or from alkene esters by radical addition of thioacetic acid. The mercapto esters are readily identified by infrared, nuclear magnetic resonance, and mass spectroscopic procedures, preferably after acetylation or trifluoroacetylation.
3,-Mesyloxy alkenes furnish tetrahydrothiophen rather than mercapto alkenes and methyl 9,12-epithiostearate was synthesised by an independent route from thiophen.

A total of ten C18 fatty esters containing an azido group and another chemical function (ethylenic, bromo, epoxy, hydroxy, methoxy, acetoxy or vinyl) were synthesised from methyl ricinoleate. Methyl di-and triazidooctadecanoate were also derived from methyl oleate and ricinolcate, respectively. The
Eight isomeric methyl cis, cis-octadecadienoates (5,12; 6,12; 7,12; 6,11 ; 8,12; 6,10; 9,12; and 6,9) have been converted to dicyclopropane esters. The GLC behaviour, NMR spectra, and mass spectra of the dimethyleneoctadecanoates are discussed.
The NMR spectra of a number of octadecadiynoic acids and of the derived cis, cis-and trans, trans-octadecadienoates have been studied using a 100 MHz instrument. Characteristic spectral features associated with the number of methylene groups between the two unsaturated centres are described. In diun
The chromatographic properties of the cis and trans methyl octadecenoates and of some C12 and Cls acetylenic esters on thin layers of silica impregnated with silver nitrate and on some GLC systems are reported. The possibility of identification and separation of these isomers is discussed.
hydroperoxides and t-butyl peroxides have been prepared -some of them for the first time -by the application of known procedures.
