Abstract
The conjugation of polyunsaturated fatty esters, including soybean oil, trilinolein, soybean methyl esters, and methyl linolenate and linoleate, with the sodium salt of dimethyl sulfoxide (dimsylsodium) as catalyst has been investigated. Methyl esters are ca. 95% conjugated within 2 hr. Glycerides react more slowly but are similarly conjugated within 24 hr. The glyceride linkages are not destroyed as they would be with aqueous or alcoholic alkali. Highly conjugated oils can thus be prepared.
