Abstract
ATTEMPTS to find the position of the hydroperoxide group of methyl linoleate hydroperoxide by permanganate oxidation of esters and ethers of the hydroxy component which is produced by reducing the hydroperoxide with stannous chloride have not been successful. Recently, it has been reported that the hydroxy component formed by reduction of the hydroperoxide can be dehydrated1. This reaction has been confirmed, but it has been found that a more complete conversion occurs when the reaction mixture is boiled for half an hour in an atmosphere of nitrogen.
