Plant Oils with Phosphorus Moities

The concept of sustainable development requires fire retardant technologies to be developed that have a minimum impact on health and the environment throughout the life cycle of the fire-resistant material Starting from its synthesis, via fabrication, use, and recycling to its final disposal. Therefore, the search for new environmentally friendly flame retardant polymeric materials is of large current interest. 

In contrast to bromine, phosphorus based polymers are an effective class of flame retardant materials (85). In particular, they exhibit a good flame retardant performance and are thus preferred in com- 

The photoperoxidation of high oleic sxmflower oil with singlet oxygen is an efficient reaction for the synthesis of functionalized triglyceride derivatives. In this reaction, high oleic sunflower oil and oxygen are the only reactants, which makes this transformation very attractive from an environmental point of view (74).
