Abstract

Oxidative cyclization of methyl 2-hydroxyoctadecanoate, methyl 10-hydroxyundecanoate and 1-octadecanol produced a good yield of the corresponding tetrahydrofuran (THF) derivatives characterized successively as methyl 2,5-epoxyoctadecanoate, methyl 7,10-epoxyundecanoate and 1,4-epoxyoctadecane. The structure of these cyclic derivatives have been established by elemental analyses and spectral studies.
