The seed oil of Vernonia anthelmintica on reaction with diols (mono‐, di‐, tri‐, or tetraethylene glycols) in the presence of boron trifluoride etherate, followed by saponification and esterification (methanol/H + ), gives the oligoethylene glycol ethers: methyl 12(13)‐hydroxy‐13(12) [2‐hydroxy‐ethyl‐1‐oxy]‐octadec‐9‐enoate; methyl 12(13)‐hydroxy‐13(12)‐[5‐hydroxy‐3‐oxapentyl‐1‐oxy]‐octadec‐9‐enoate; methyl 12(13)‐hydroxy‐13(12)‐[8‐hydroxy‐3,6‐dioxaoctyl‐1‐oxy]‐octadec‐9‐enoate; and methyl 12(13)‐hydroxy‐13(12)‐[11‐hydroxy‐3,6,9‐trioxaundecyl‐1‐oxy]‐octadec‐9‐enoate. Methyl 12,13‐dihydroxyoctadec‐9‐enoate is a co‐product in all reactions.
