ABSTRACT:
A synthesis process for producing 9-cis, 11-trans octadecadienoic acid at room temperature in high yield is disclosed, including providing a tosylate or mesylate of a methyl ester of ricinoleic acid and 9-cis, 11-trans octadecadienoic acid formed when the tosylate or mesylate reacts with diazabicyclo-undecene. In one aspect, the tosylate of the methyl ester of ricinoleic acid is formed with tosyl chloride in a pyridine solvent. In one aspect, the mesylate of the methyl ester of ricinoleic acid is formed with mesyl chloride in acetonitrile and triethyl amine. In one aspect, the tosylate or mesylate is reacted with diazabicyclo-undecene in a polar, non-hydoxylic solvent of acetonitrile to form the preferred isomer of 9-cis, 11-trans octadecadienoic acid at room temperature in high yield.
