title: Synthesis of heteroatom-substituted analogues of stearic acid.
abstract: We report herein the syntheses of several analogues of stearic acid in which oxygen or sulfur atoms or sulfoxide groups have replaced the methylene groups at either position 9 or position 10 of the polymethylene chains. These compounds have been fully characterized by the results of proton and carbon 13 nuclear magnetic resonance, and low and high resolution mass spectral studies.
