title: Synthesis and characterization of highly functionalized symmetric aromatic hexa-ol intermediates from oleic acid.
abstract: A novel highly functionalized aromatic hexa-ol was synthesized by palladium-catalyzed cyclotrimerization of an alkyne fatty acid ester followed by LAH reduction. This polyol product is a novel monomer made from a renewable lipid raw material for the production of polyurethanes, polyesters and polyamides.
