The reaction of 10‐undecenoic acid with lead tetraacetate (LTA) in the presence of acetic acid and anhydrous potassium acetate gave a eutectic mixture of 10(11)‐acetoxy‐11(10)‐methylundecanoic acid (25%), 10,11‐diacetoxyundecanoic acid (15%) and 5‐(ω‐carboxyoctyl) γ‐butyrolactone (45%). Similar reaction with cis ‐9‐octadecenoic acid yielded a eutectic mixture of 9(10)‐acetoxy‐10(9)‐methyloctadecanoic acid (20%) and 4(5)‐(ω‐carboxyheptyl)‐5‐(4)‐octyl γ‐butyrolactone (40%). In the reaction with trans ‐2‐enoic acids (C 16 and C 18 ) products obtained were: 1,2‐diacetoxypenta‐ and heptadecane (27%), 3‐acetoxyhexa‐ and octadecanoic acid (31%) and 2‐(2‐penta‐ and heptadecyl) succinic anhydride (23%), respectively. The structures of individual compounds were characterized by spectral methods.
