Abstract
- Cetyl alcohol has been submitted to the Guerbet reaction and converted into 2-tetradecyl-octadecyl alcohol. Conditions have been found whereby this branched-chain alcohol can be obtained in good yield with virtual suppression of fatty acid formation. Some reactions and derivatives of the new alcohol are described and some light thrown on the mechanism of the Guerbet reaction. The modified reaction described has also been applied to sperm oil alcohols.
