Summary
-
1.
The reaction of N-bromosuccinimide with methyl esters of soybean fat acids and with methyl linoleate has been investigated, and the influence of changes in the conditions of reaction has been studied.
-
2.
The reaction of brominated methyl esters of soybean fat acids with sodium methoxide produced both methoxylated products and a dimer-like substance.
-
3.
The reaction of brominated methyl esters of soybean fat acids with sodium cyanide and cuprous cyanide did not result in significant replacement of bromine with the cyano group.
