The oxidation of methyl oleate under gas pressures up to 800 p.s.i.a. has been investigated. At 120°C. the samples oxidized under pressure built up hydroperoxides rapidly and exploded. There is no necessary connection between hydroperoxide concentration and explosiveness. Oxidations at 100°C are stable, but peroxide formation is drastically reduced. The presence of cobalt acetate increases the instability of the oxidizing oleate, causing it to explode even at 100°C.
