Abstract A previously described procedure for the basecatalyzed alcoholysis of fish‐oil triglycerides with alcohols of low molecular weight has been applied to the preparation of alkyl esters using high molecular weight, aromatic, and terminally unsaturated alcohols. Some monoethers of ethylene‐and diethylene glycol have also been used in this work. Thin‐layer chromatography was used to follow the course of the reaction and determine optimum reaction times and yields of products.
