Reaction Steps

The glyceryl mono/di esters of epoxidized methyl oleate and epoxidized methyl linoleate similarly were prepared following the procedure of Example 1. 0.1 moles of the epoxidized methyl oleate and the epoxidized methyl linoleate each were reacted with 0.2 mol glycerol (100% excess). Analysis of the solid oleate and liquid to semisolid linoleate resulted respectively in an oxirane content of 4.3% and 7.2% and Acid Values of ≤0.6.
