Economical and Simple Preparation of Oleyl Bromide from Commercially Available Olive Oil
Journal Title: Chemical Science International Journal - Year 2017, Vol 20, Issue 2
Abstract
The objective of this work was to get access to a cheap and easy to scale source of oleyl bromide. Starting from commercial olive oil, and using economical reagents and conditions, the conversion was achieved in 5 steps (saponification, distillation, esterification, reduction and bromination), with a good overall yield (30%), providing a good quality final product, which showed a purity of at least 95%, by NMR.

A Review on Effect of Solvents on Fluorescent Spectra
When absorption spectra are measured in solvents of different polarity, it is found that the positions, intensities, and shapes of the absorption bands are usually modified by these solvents. These changes are a result o...
