Abstract
The periodate–permanganate reaction with methyl oleate and triolein has been studied in media containing a variety of organic solvents. The oxidation proceeded favorably in media containing tertiary butanol or pyridine and conditions have been found which permit the quantitative analysis of unsaturated lipids.
