Preparation of sabacic acid​

Answer»

Answer:

Sebacic acid is normally MADE from castor OIL, which is essentially glyceryl ricinoleate. The castor oil is treated with caustic SODA at HIGH temperature, e.g. 250°C, so that saponification, leading to the formation of ricinoleic acid; is followed by a reaction giving sebacic acid and octan-2-ol Figure 18.5.
