Reaction Steps
To 680.0 grams of meadowfoam acid is added to the sorbitol intermediate. Next add 0.1% stannous oxylate based upon the total weight of the batch after all ingredients have been charged, under agitation. The temperature of the mass is raised to 180-200° C. and water is stripped off as formed. The acid value and hydroxyl value drop to vanishingly small values, and the saponification value increases to theoretical.
