The mixture of compounds resulting from the expoxidation of one of the double bonds of methyl linoleate has been examined to determine possible positional selectivity in moneopoxidation. The analysis, which depended on periodic acid cleavage of saturated epoxides or saturated vicinal glycols, has revealed that the two monoepoxidation products, methyl vernolate and methyl coronarate, are produced in essentially equal amounts.
