Interest is increasing in the use of vegetable oils as renewable raw materials for the chemical industry.[1] For example, jojoba[2] is a new crop grown in arid regions which affords an unusual liquid wax, composed almost entirely (97 per cent) of esters of monounsaturated fatty acids ([C.sub.18] - [C.sub.24]) and monounsaturated alcohols ([C.sub.l8] - [C.sub.24]); the major constituents are icosenyl and docosenyl icosenoates (I; m = 9, n = 10,12). Examination of its chemical reactivity has centred largely on electrophilic addition and allylic substitution at the alkene units, and on the reactions of the ester group. Also, there have been isolated reports of pericyclic ...
