Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

112 g diglycerol (0.67 mole), 400 g montanic acid (1.0 mole) and 0.4 g tin powder were heated to 200° C. as in Example 1 with application of a gentle vacuum. The vacuum was increased to 24 mbar over a period of 3.4 h. The product had an acid value of approximately 1. A brown colored hard wax having a dropping point of 81° C. was obtained after cooling to 100° C., bleaching and filtering.
