Ozonolysis of monoethylenic fatty acids in BF 3 −MeOH, or in MeOH with subsequent addition of BF 3 −MeOH, gives oxidative fission acid products as methyl esters in a nominal 100% yield and a purity ≥98% of principal acid products. The in situ esterification step requires ca. 1 hr of heating with 7 or 14% BF 3 , but other time requirements are much less, totalling no more than half an hour. Different liquid phases for open‐tubular gas liquid chromatography of some products are compared.
