A catalytic activity for autoxidation was observed in the methyl linolenate fraction which had been recovered from an autoxidizing methyl linolenate preparation by column chromatography using silicic acid and hexane. It was suggested that there is some catalytically-active material which is liable to contaminate the methyl linolenate recovered, but is unstable when in contact with silicic acid, and is readily lost on reduction with triphenylphosphine.
