Plant oils with their long linear methylene sequences are attractive substrates for polymeric materials, such as long-chain aliphatic polyesters and polyamides. Existing biotechnological routes for their conversion to long-chain linear a,ro-dicarboxylic acid derivatives have recently been complemented by chemical catalytic conversions. This contribution discusses and compares the conversion of unsaturated fatty acids by olefin metathesis and by isomerizing alkoxycarbonylation, and reviews properties of resulting long-chain aliphatic polyesters. The impact of multiple unsaturated fatty acids present in technical grade plant oils is adressed.
