As in the preceeding examples, 200 grams of oleic acid and 10 grams of the catalyst system prepared according to the above paragraph were treated in a manner similar to that set forth in Example I above, that is, by reaction at a temperature of 300° C. and a pressure of 1000 psi of hydrogen for a period of 4 hours. After the 4 hour reaction period had elapsed, heating was discontinued, the autoclave was allowed to return to room temperature, and the excess pressure was vented. Analysis of the reaction product after separation from the catalyst disclosed that there had been a 94% reduction of the carboxyl moieties to form oleyl oleate, oleyl alcohol as well as geometric and positional isomers thereof with an 83% reduction of the double bond.
