Solvent- and metal-free ketonization of fatty acid methyl esters and triacylglycerols with nitrous oxide
2007
Herein we report a new, one-step procedure for the metal-free ketonization of unsaturated fatty acid methyl esters and triacylglycerol mixtures with nitrous oxide (N 2 O). The conversion of various substrates can be tuned by parameters such as temperature, reaction time and N 2 O partial pressure. This ketonization chemistry offers various advantages over the classic Wacker catalytic process and a state-of-the-art two-step procedure via intermediate epoxides.
