Sustainable route to methyl-9-hydroxononanoate (polymer precursor) by oxidative cleavage of fatty acid methyl ester from rapeseed oil

Abstract

Fatty acid methyl esters from rapeseed oil can be converted to monomers for polymer industries (85% methyl-9-hydroxynonanoate) by an oxydoreductive cleavage step in solvent free medium at room temperature, followed by a reduction step. All by-products are valuable and the reactions are performed under mild conditions.
