Ozonolysis of unsaturated fatty acids and derivatives thereof

摘要

The invention relates to a method for the ozonolysis of unsaturated fatty acids and derivatives thereof, comprising a) ozonolysis of a fatty acid or of a derivative thereof in an organic phase comprising an organic solvent, and b) contacting the organic phase with an aqueous phase comprising catalase and preferably a buffer, where the fatty acid or the derivative thereof has a linear chain having at least eight carbon atoms, and the use of catalase for removing reactive oxygen species from a reaction mixture comprising ozonolysis products of an unsaturated fatty acid.

1. A method for the ozonolysis of unsaturated fatty acids and derivatives thereof, comprising:
a) ozonolysis of the unsaturated fatty acid or derivative thereof in an organic phase comprising an organic solvent; and b) contacting the organic phase with an aqueous phase comprising catalase and optionally, a buffer; wherein the unsaturated fatty acid or the derivative thereof comprises at least one linear carbon chain of at least eight carbon atoms, and wherein at room temperature, the organic solvent separates as an organic phase when in the presence of an aqueous phase.
