Hydrogenation under atmospheric pressure at temperatures 180° and 210° of finback whale oil and soy bean oil using H. Adkins' copper-chromium oxide catalyst shows that highly unsaturated acids above the linolic acid series undergo selective partial hydrogenation to form acids of the oleic acid series, while acids of the oleic acid series remain intact. The reduction involved does not occur in the acid radical. The reaction with hydrogen at the initial pressure of 40 atmospheres produces at 140° the same results as that at atmospheric pressure but brings about the saturation of the oleic acid series as well as reduction of the acid radical at 180°.
