A solution of 10 g of α-linolenic acid in 100 ml of anhydrous chloroform was kept cooled with ice and 4.6 g of oxalic chloride was added dropwise thereto. The solution containing the chloride was stirred at room temperature for three hours. The resultant reaction solution was dried under a vacuum. The α-linolenic acid chloride consequently formed was dissolved in 100 ml of anhydrous chloroform. The solution consequently obtained was cooled to -50° C. and 2.2 g of paraformaldenyde was added thereto and subsequently 12.2 g of zinc chloride was added thereto. Thereafter, the resultant reaction solution was stirred at room temperature for three hours. It was subjected to alumina chromatography. From the methylene chloride eluate consequently separated, 4.1 g of α-linolenyl oxymethyl chloride was obtained. The physicochemical data obtained of this product were as shown below. They prove the identity of α-linolenyl oxymethyl chloride.
