Unsaturated long chain fatty esters gave the corresponding bromochloro ester derivatives when treated with N‐bromosuccinimide and hydrogen chloride. Treatment of the intermediate halo esters with sodium iodide furnished the same positional unsaturated fatty ester isomers, but of opposite geometric configuration. This olefin isomerization method was found to be high yielding, stereospecific and to cause no double bond migration.
