Procedure

The reaction was carried out in the manner of Example 1, Step 1 with the exception that 10 g of laboratory grade oleic acid were used as the substrate. The reactant peroxyformic acid was prepared in situ by mixing 30 mL of formic acid with 20 mL of 30% by weight hydrogen peroxide solution. Oleic acid as a substrate produced monohydroxy formoxy stearic acid only. The product was a white, hard substance. Gas chromatographic analysis showed the absence of starting material (oleic acid) .
