The unsaturated acyloin corresponding to oleoin was prepared from methyl oleate by the reductive condensation reaction with metallic sodium. Oleoin could be reduced by lithium aluminium hydride or aluminium iso-propoxide, giving unsaturated α-glycol which corresponds to sym-diheptadecenyl-ethyleneglycol.
The properties of both compounds compared with saturated products were discussed.
