Abstract
The conversion of the nitrile function of methyl 12-(2-cyanoethoxy)-octadecanoate II to a series of carboxylic acid derivatives has been investigated, and a series of 12 diester derivatives has been prepared. Compound II undergoes decyanoethylation in alkaline medium, and II and its derivatives degenerate in acid medium to a mixture of Δ11 and Δ12 methyltrans-octadecenoates by a concerted process.
