Oils and fats of vegetable and animal origin have recently attracted growing interest as
renewable raw materials in oleochemical industries. This attention arises from not only …

The oxidative cleavage of the CC double bond in unsaturated fatty acids into aldehydes or
carboxylic acids is a reaction of current interest in biomass valorization. The products of this …

A series of tungsten oxide nanoparticles (NPs) has been synthesized via a green and
straightforward approach exploiting bare tungsten powder as a precursor. The synthesized …

An unprecedented direct oxidation of high‐oleic triglycerides to produce azelaic glycerides
has been carried out by using a catalytic system based on H2WO4/H2O2. The results are …

The present critical review reports the recent progress of the last 15 years in the selective
epoxidation of vegetable oils and their derivatives, in particular unsaturated fatty acids …

Scientists are exploring renewables as sources for a more sustainable production of
chemicals. Linear α-olefins (LAOs) are key commodity chemicals and petrochemical …

Different reaction pathways are discussed for the Os‐catalyzed oxidation of methyl oleate
and oleic acid using O2/aldehyde as oxidation system. Monomethyl azelate and pelargonic …

Oxidative cleavage of fatty acids and fatty acid derivatives is a practical way to obtain
bifunctional molecules that can be used in polycondensation reactions. Diacids …

Ozonolysis has been proposed as a clean and efficient reaction for use in the production of
biobased aldehydes from unsaturated plant oils that can directly replace similar …

The present review reports the current literature of the last 10 years on selective oxidation
reactions of fatty acid derivatives and vegetable oils. The work is structured in divisions …
