Abstract
After feeding 7-ethyloctanoic acid triglyceride to a dog, 57.3 g. of the urine extract were esterified with abs. alc. and HCl. The first fraction of the vacuum distillate was tentatively identified as hydroxyethyl-hexanoic acid ethyl ester. A higher boiling fraction was saponified, and [gamma]-ethylsuberic acid (C10H18O4), m.p. 61[degree], obtained. After feeding [epsilon]-ethyldecanoic acid, [gamma]-ethylsuberic acid was obtained, after [delta]-ethylnonanoic acid triglyceride, [beta]-ethylheptanoic acid.
