Abstract
The oil resulting after electrolytic oxidation of MeOCO(CH2)7COOK is divided into three fractions by vacuum distillation. The author found that the fraction distilling off at by 90-130°C/5mmHg, was mainly composed of OHC(CH2)6COOCH3 and HO(CH2)7COOCH3, after taking such measures as separation of components, measurement of their physical and chemical constants, preparation of their derivatives and so on. The relative amount of these fractions in the oil depends on pH and the concentration of the solution of MreOCO(CH2)7COOK.
