SummaryVarying amounts of a specimen of pure linolenic acid have been brominated and the hexabromide yields have been determined by an empirical procedure. The acid was brominated alone and in the presence of olive oil fatty acids. It is suggested that linolenic acid can be specifically and quantitatively determined in fatty acid mixtures by interpolation from a curve showing the linolenic acid‐hexabromide yield relationships over the range cited. The empirical nature of the hexabromide yield is confirmed.
