Hydrogenation linoleate

When partially hydrogenated, linoleic acid might be expected to give only A9 and A12 Ci8 monoenes. Each of these may then react further, but under conditions of extended selective hydrogenation, the product is more complex and the Cjg monoene esters may include the cis- and tran -isomers from A5 through to A15 (i.e., 22... 

Multiply unsaturated linolenic and linoleic acid residues make triglycerides more vulnerable to oxidative degradation than oleic acid which is relatively stable. It is therefore desirable to hydrogenate the most unsaturated residues selectively without production of large quantities of stearic (fully saturated) acid. The stepwise reduction of an unsaturated oil may be visualized as ... 

If first-order kinetics are assumed, k /is the linoleic selectivity ratio and k l is the selectivity ratio for reduction of linoleic acid to stearic acid. Figure 2 shows a typical course of hydrogenation for soybean oil the rate constants are = 0.367, = 0.159, and k = 0.013. With a selective nickel catalyst,... 

Homogeneous and heterogenous catalysts which selectively or partially hydrogenate fatty amines have been developed (50). Selective hydrogenation of cis and trans isomers, and partial hydrogenation of polyunsaturated moieties, such as linoleic and linolenic to oleic, is possible. 

When tallow fatty acids are the feed, stearic acid (actually 60/40 C16/C18) and oleic acids are the products. Solvent separation is also used to separate stearic acid from isostearic acid when hydrogenated monomer is the feed, and oleic acid from linoleic acid when using tall oil fatty acids as feed. 

Structure and Mechanism of Formation. Thermal dimerization of unsaturated fatty acids has been explaiaed both by a Diels-Alder mechanism and by a free-radical route involving hydrogen transfer. The Diels-Alder reaction appears to apply to starting materials high ia linoleic acid content satisfactorily, but oleic acid oligomerization seems better rationalized by a free-radical reaction (8—10). 

The clay-cataly2ed iatermolecular condensation of oleic and/or linoleic acid mixtures on a commercial scale produces approximately a 60 40 mixture of dimer acids and higher polycarboxyUc acids) and monomer acids (C g isomerized fatty acids). The polycarboxyUc acid and monomer fractions are usually separated by wiped-film evaporation. The monomer fraction, after hydrogenation, can be fed to a solvent separative process that produces commercial isostearic acid, a complex mixture of saturated fatty acids that is Hquid at 10°C. Dimer acids can be further separated, also by wiped-film evaporation, iato distilled dimer acids and trimer acids. A review of dimerization gives a comprehensive discussion of the subject (10). 

Sodium dodecyl sulfate and hydrogen dodecyl sulfate have been used as catalysts in the denitrosation iV-nitroso-iV-methyl-p-toluenesulfonamide [138]. The kinetics of condensation of benzidine and p-anisidine with p-dimethylamino-benzaldehyde was studied by spectrophotometry in the presence of micelles of sodium dodecyl sulfate, with the result that the surfactant increases the rate of reaction [188]. The kinetics of reversible complexation of Ni(II) and Fe(III) with oxalatopentaaminecobalt(III) has been investigated in aqueous micellar medium of sodium dodecyl sulfate. The reaction occurs exclusively on the micellar surface [189]. Vitamin E reacts rapidly with the peroxidized linoleic acid present in linoleic acid in micellar sodium dodecyl sulfate solutions, whereas no significant reaction occurs in ethanol solution [190].

The major fatty acids present in plant-derived fatty substances are oleic acid (9-octadecenoic, C18 l), linoleic acid (9,12-octadecadienoic, C18 2) and the conjugated isomers thereof and linolenic acid (9,12,15-octadecatrienoic, C18 3) (Scheme 31.1). Their rates of oxygen absorption are 100 40 1, respectively, hence partial hydrogenation with consequent lowering of the iodine number would lead to a significant increase in oxidative stabihty, particularly when C18 3 is reduced. 

The hydrogen atoms of the -CH2- group located between the two double bonds of linoleic ester (Lin-H) are especially susceptible to abstraction by radicals.

Figure 10.7 Autoxidation of a linoleic acid ester. In step 1 the reaction is initiated by the attack of a radical on one of the hydrogen atoms of the -CH2-group between the two double bonds this hydrogen abstraction produces a radical that is a resonance hybrid. In step 2 this radical reacts with oxygen in the first of two chain-propagating steps to produce an oxygen-containing radical, which in step 3 can abstract a hydrogen from another molecule of the linoleic ester (Lin-H). The result of this second chain-propagating step is the formation of a hydroperoxide and a radical (Lin ) that can bring about a repetition of step 2.

This conclusion is partly true because superoxide is unable to abstract hydrogen atom even from the most active bisallylic positions of unsaturated compounds, while perhydroxyl radical abstracts H atom from linoleic, linolenic, and arachidonic fatty acids with the rate constants of 1-3 x 1031 mol-1 s-1 [24], However, the superoxide damaging activity does not originate from hydrogen atom abstraction reactions but from one-electron reduction processes, leading to the formation of hydroxyl radicals, peroxynitrite, etc, and in these reactions perhydroxyl cannot compete with superoxide. 

In 1977, Kellogg and Fridovich [28] showed that superoxide produced by the XO-acetaldehyde system initiated the oxidation of liposomes and hemolysis of erythrocytes. Lipid peroxidation was inhibited by SOD and catalase but not the hydroxyl radical scavenger mannitol. Gutteridge et al. [29] showed that the superoxide-generating system (aldehyde-XO) oxidized lipid micelles and decomposed deoxyribose. Superoxide and iron ions are apparently involved in the NADPH-dependent lipid peroxidation in human placental mitochondria [30], Ohyashiki and Nunomura [31] have found that the ferric ion-dependent lipid peroxidation of phospholipid liposomes was enhanced under acidic conditions (from pH 7.4 to 5.5). This reaction was inhibited by SOD, catalase, and hydroxyl radical scavengers. Ohyashiki and Nunomura suggested that superoxide, hydrogen peroxide, and hydroxyl radicals participate in the initiation of liposome oxidation. It has also been shown [32] that SOD inhibited the chain oxidation of methyl linoleate (but not methyl oleate) in phosphate buffer.
