title: Fatty acids. IV. Synthesis of all the dimethylene-interrupted methyl octadecadiynoates and a study of their gas-liquid chromatographic properties.
abstract: All the dimethylene-interrupted methyl octadecadiynoates have been synthesised and the gas-liquid chromatographic behaviour of these isomers was studied on polar [Carbowax 20M, FFAP, DEGA, DEGS and Silar 10C (recently renamed as Apolar 10C)], semi-polar (XE-60) and non-polar (SE-30, OV-101 and Apiezon L) stationary phases. The possibility of identification and separation of these isomers is discussed. The delta3a,7a isomer was found to decompose on most polar phases and the delta2a,6a isomer could not be eluted from the Carbowax 20M phase.
