THE HIGHLY UNSATURATED ALCOHOLS IN SPERM BLUBBER OIL

The high boiling fraction of the unsaponifiable matter of sperm blubber oil was brominated in ethereal solution, and the ether insoluble bromide was separated and then debrominated to regenerate the highly unsaturated alcohols. These were converted into acetates, and the latter were fractionated. An...

Summary:The high boiling fraction of the unsaponifiable matter of sperm blubber oil was brominated in ethereal solution, and the ether insoluble bromide was separated and then debrominated to regenerate the highly unsaturated alcohols. These were converted into acetates, and the latter were fractionated. An examination of the resulting fractions showed that the highly unsaturated alcohols of sperm blubber oil contained two individual alcohols C20H34O and C22H36O as chief components.
