Abstract

Jojoba oil has been isomerized with selenium and NO₂ catalysts under a wide range of conditions. The reaction with selenium is first order in the isomer and 1/3 order in the catalyst, with an activation energy of 35 keal/mol, yields up to 56% trans isomer, and melting points 36 to 40°C. The reaction with NO₂ is faster, proceeds under milder conditions with a yield of 75% trans isomer, and raises the melting point to 42°C.
