Abstract
A previously described procedure for the basecatalyzed alcoholysis of fish-oil triglycerides with alcohols of low molecular weight has been applied to the preparation of alkyl esters using high molecular weight, aromatic, and terminally unsaturated alcohols. Some monoethers of ethylene-and diethylene glycol have also been used in this work. Thin-layer chromatography was used to follow the course of the reaction and determine optimum reaction times and yields of products.
