Summary The hydrogenation of methyl eleostearate with and without solvent has been studied. The data indicate the stepwise addition of two moles of hydrogen to the conjugated triene to produce equimolar amounts of 9‐, 10‐, 11‐, 12‐, and 13‐octadecenoates. Additional evidence for the cis ‐9, trans ‐11, trans ‐13 structure of α‐eleostearic acid was obtained.
