Methyl cis ‐9, cis ‐15‐octadecadienoate was used as a model for the hydrogenation of methyl linolenate. Homogeneous catalysis by platinum, palladium and nickel complexes produced a mixture of isomeric monoenes similar to that from the hydrogenation of methyl linolenate. These catalysts are, therefore, capable of promoting isomerization of isolated double bonds and of producing conjugated dienes which are necessary for the formation of monoenes.
