Summary Oleic acid and a series of its esters were reacted with hydrogen bromide under conditions favoring addition by a free radical mechanism. Variations of the solvents, catalysts, temperatures, dilution, and the ester groups were investigated. Under all conditions a statistical 50∶50 distribution of position isomers was found.
