Product 1

HCID 445639Oleic AcidYield 68.4%

Procedure

The data showing a 68.4% yield when a combination of 30% arachidic/behenic acid mixture and 70% isostearic acid is used is unexpectedly low and probably resulted from experimental error. The yield for this combination of acids is typically comparable to the yield resulting from use of oleic acid instead of isostearic acid.
