Procedure
Oleyl linoleate was prepared by refluxing linoleic acid (1 g) and Oeyl alcohol (1 ml) in CH2Cl2 (20 ml) and concentrated H2SO4 (10 μl) overnight. The product was slightly pink and was purified by flash chromatography. The resultant Oeyl linoleate was subjected to the Simmons-Smith procedure described above to generate DCPLA-oleyl ester.
