| Application: | Methyl oleate can be used as a reactant to synthesize:• Epoxidized methyl oleate via epoxidation. • Allyl azides via manganese(III) acetate-mediated addition of azide in the alkyl chain. • Bromohydrin products via hydroxybromination with N-bromosuccinimide. |
| General description: | The methyl oleate monolayers at the air-water interface undergoes ozonolysis that results in rapid loss of material through cleavage of the C=C bond and evaporation/dissolution of reaction products. |
