Popis: Methyl esters from vernonia oil containingcis-12,13-epoxy-cis-9-octadecenoate were reacted with acetone in the presence of a boron trifluoride catalyst to yieldtrans-12,13-0-isopropylidene-9-ene derivative I. Epoxidation of the unsaturation followed by reaction with acetone gave the isomerictrans,trans-di-0-isopropylidene deriva-tivesIII of 9,10 :12,13-tetrahydroxystearates. The carboxylic acids of III were converted to vinyl esters and subsequent hydrolysis of the isopropy-lidene groups with boric acid produced vinylthreo-9,10threo-12,13-tetrahydroxystearates. By the same sequence of reactions monoepoxidized methyl linoleate yielded an optically inactive de-rivative which had identical refractive index, IR spectrum, and GLC data toIII from vernonia methyl esters.
