The reaction was performed in the presence of an excess of sulfuric acid in refluxing aqueous ethanol and led to modest yields. Similar conditions with hydrochloric acid were used

While TLC analysis revealed complete conversion of the ester to aldehyde, the isolated yield was poor (20%). The

- a modified Hummer procedure. Graphite powder, NaNO3, and concentrated sulfuric acid were mixed and vigorously stirred in an ice bath. After converting to a black slurry, KMnO4 was added and then, this was stirred for 4 h. The resulting mixture was diluted with water and stirred at room temperature

- -quality oligomeric ricinoleic acid, the synthetic method has kept on developing. Traditionally, p-toluenesulfonic or sulfuric acid are used as catalysts for the preparation of oligomeric ricinoleic acid. However, the equipment corrosion and the tedious workup process are inevitable, which reduce the

Therefore, to neutralize the reaction mixtures, we used one equivalent of sulfuric acid relative to the alkali salt used for saponification. The resulting precipitates were then isolated by filtration, and thoroughly washed with water. As a
