Cis-Trans isomerization of unsaturated fatty acid methyl esters without double bond migration

  • Published:

Abstract

Trans isomerization of monoenoic and dienoic fatty acid methyl esters has been carried out with thiols and diphenylphosphine in the presence of azobisisobutylnitrile. The equilibrium mixture contained 75–80%trans double bonds and there was no migration of the double bonds.
