A series of esters of a ‐branched fatty acids containing 28舑38 carbon atoms has been synthesized by free radical‐catalyzed addition of saturated aliphatic esters to terminal aliphatic olefins. Methods of purification of methyl a ‐decyloctadecanoate have been studied. The structure of methyl a ‐decyloctadecanoate has been established by nuclear magnetic resonance and by independent synthesis.
