The ratio of oleic acid to stearic acid (O/S) is another parameter used for assessing the degree of ageing of a lipid paint binder. This ratio is considered as an index of oxidation because the oleic acid double bond is particularly reactive towards oxidation, so normally the content of oleic acid in aged paintings is very low, with an O/S value around 0.1 0.2 [55]. 

Our studies have confirmed that the oligomerisation of styrene by perchloric acid is both chemically and kinetically simple. However, the reactions which follow completion of the polymerisation, and during which carbonium ions are formed and destroyed, are complicated. They can be rationalised in terms of equilibria involving ions, acid, double bonds, and esters cyclisation of olefinic oligomers and formation of polyenes by way of allylic ions add further complications. We have thus shown in some detail just why such systems must be treated with the greatest circumspection if they are to yield valid information. 

A distinction between 1,2- and 1,4-arrangement is possible through selective epoxida-tion of the olefinic components using rrt-chloroperbenzoic acid. Double bonds in the... 

The amount of oil in a sample is determined by Scott oil analysis (AOAC, 1990e). This is a bromination reaction previously used to determine the number of fatty acid double bonds. This titration method quantifies the recoverable oil in fruits and fruit products based on the release of Br2 and the formation of limonene tetrabromide (Braddock, 1999). Figure Gl.5.3 illustrates the chemical reaction for the bromination of limonene. Other monoterpenes (a-pinene and citral) also react however, the method is accurate to within 10 ppm limonene (Scott and Valdhuis, 1966). For this procedure, limonene is co-distilled with isopropanol and titrated with a potassium bromide/bromate solution.

Isomerization of a 2-substituted 2-cyclohexenone to a 6-substituted 2-cyclohexenone requires removal of a proton from the 5-position of the 2-substituted isomer. Since protons in this position are not acidic, double bond isomerization does not occur. 

Potassium permanganate, KMnO. Oxidizes alkenes under neutral or acidic conditions to give carboxylic acid double-bond cleavage products (Sections 7.9). 

Before exposure the film consisted of microcrystals, mostly <1 jm in size. There was no noticeable change caused by the exposure, but the crystals were much smaller after development. The sensitivity is higher than we would expect for a system that presumably does not involve chain reactions and thus has no amplification. It is possible that the reaction also involves some photolocking (see Section VI-C) of picramide to the acrylic acid double bond. 

Elimination of sulfonic acids. Double bonds can be introduced into organic molecules by elimination of sulfonic acids from the corresponding sulfonic acid esters. The reaction proceeds particularly smoothly using DBN or DBU as reagent. Thus, treatment of 3-tosyloxyhexa-1,5-diyne (10) with excess DBN in ether at room temperature (1 hr.) affords a 40 60 mixture of cis- and (fu .v-hex-3-enc-l,5-diync (11 70%). ... 

Most transgenic oilseeds with altered fatty acid composition remain research subjects, with commercial introduction limited to two crops, neither of which have yet achieved success in the marketplace. The expected benefits from transgenic crops with altered fatty acid composition include improved stability properties enhanced nutritive value expanded use of renewable resources to replace petroleum derived materials replacement of chemical processes, such as epoxidation of fatty acid double bonds and gradual expansion of agriculture as a chemical industry, a concept long ago known as chemurgy. It is possible to predict some issues that...

Mammals cannot synthesize unsaturated fatty acids having double bonds further than 9 carbons from the carboxyl group. Thus, mammals can synthesize oleic acid and palmitoleic acid (double bonds at carbon 9), but not linoleic acid (double bons at carbons 9 and 12) or linolenic acid (double bonds at carbons 9,12, and 15). As a result, fatty acids such as linoleic acid and linolenic acid are called essential fatty acids because they must be present in the diet. Figure 18.33 shows how linoleic acid is converted to arachidonic acid, an important precursor to the prostaglandins and thromboxanes. 

Mammals cannot synthesize double bonds in fatty acids beyond the ninth carbon, so linoleic acid (double bonds at carbons 9 and 12) and linolenic Acid (double bonds at carbons 9,12, and 15) must be provided in mammalian diets. 

Fatty acids are carboxylic acids with long hydrocarbon chains. The fatty acids most frequently found in nature are shown in Table 26.1. Because they are synthesized from acetate, a compound with two carbon atoms, most naturally occurring fatty acids contain an even number of carbon atoms and are unbranched. The mechanism for the biosynthesis of fatty acids is discussed in Section 19.21. Fatty acids can be saturated with hydrogen (and therefore have no carbon-carbon double bonds) or unsaturated (have carbon-carbon double bonds). Fatty acids with more than one double bond are called polyunsaturated fatty acids. Double bonds in naturally occurring unsaturated fatty acids are never conjugated—they are always separated by one methylene group. 

We propose the unsaturated lipids of biological membranes to provide the cells with an electronic conduction band. A striking feature of the unsaturated lipids in biomembranes is the very constant location of ethylenic cw-double bond in monounsaturated acyl chains between carbon atoms 9 and 10. A noteworthy exception is nervonic add (cw-15-24 1), which is abundant in central nervous system membranes. A microviscosity barrier has been observed in bilayers of dioleoylphosphatidylchohne at the depth of the oleic acid double bonds.Phospholipids belong to lyotropic liquid crystals and possess remarkable short- and long-range order. In a cell membrane lattice the local concentration of ester carbonyls and acyl chain ethylenic double bonds as well as the local concentration of cholesterol C=C bonds is very high. 

During the polymerization, most of the cheap maleic anhydride residues isomerize to the technologically more desirable fumaric acid residues. In addition, up to 15% of the maleic acid double bonds add on glycol with ether group formation, and, so, the polycondensation cannot be carried out stoichiometrically.

Fatty acids having double bonds close to the carboxyl end can be distinguished by using methods based on the intramolecular oxymercuration of alcohols derived from the acids. Double bonds which are 3t, 4c/t or 5dt can be identified in this way (Gunstone and Inglis, 1973). 

The movement of double bonds in long-chain unsaturated acids has been known since Varrentrapp converted oleic acid to palmitic by fusion with alkali, an observation which led to the invalid conclusion that oleic acid was the A2 or A3 acid. Double bond migration unaccompanied by chain fission occurs under milder conditions. The reaction also occurs more easily with methylene-interrupted polyene acids to give products with conjugated unsaturation which are easily recognized by ultraviolet spectroscopy (Section 9.3). 

Another approach for the preparation of rosin-modified phenolics [33] involves the formation of quinoneme-thide by the reaction between phenol and formaldehyde, which then undergoes Diels-Alder addition with the less hindered abietic acid double bond forming a chromane-type derivative (Fig. 4.12).
