Summary The autoxidation of methyl eleostearate was studied by observing the kinetics of the reaction and separating the primary oxidation products. The results indicate that an eleostearate free radical adds oxygen to the 1,2, 1,4, or 1,6 position of the triene system to produce polymers through peroxide bridges.
