Reaction Steps
Methyl behenate (0.375 moles/mole of sucrose to be used in Step B) is saponified by stirring at reflux in methanol containing an equivalent amount of KOH. The reaction is stirred with heating until all methyl ester has been converted to soap as indicated by infrared analysis. The soap solution is used, as is in the next reaction step.
