Autoxidation of saturated fatty acids. I. The initial products of autoxidation of methyl palmitate.
A highly purified methyl palmitate free of all detectable impurities was oxidized by aeration at 150C. Monohydroperoxide was shown by thin-layer chromatography (TLC), spot and spray test, and polarography to be the initial autoxidation product.
