The results obtained from the alkali fusion of long-chain epoxy-acids indicate the occurrence of at least four different reaction pathways, one of which, a β-elimination reaction, appears to be novel for unactivated epoxides. This particular reaction is also shown to occur with simple acylic ethers, as exemplified by 11-alkoxyundecanoic acids.
