Each of safflower oil, its fatty acids, and their methyl esters was heated at 140180°C using 0.52.0 wt% of iodine as a catalyst.
It was observed that the increase of the amount of iodine and/or elevation of reaction temperature are effective to the production of conj. diene. Conj, triene and octadecenoic acid (s) are found to be formed.
The Effectiveness of iodine as a conjugation catalyst was examined by comparing the present results with those in the references.
