The direct preparation ofthreo-1,2-glycols without isolation of intermediates from oleic acid, methyl oleate, and oleyl alcohol by oxidation with a hydrogen peroxide (70%)-tungstic acid system at pH 0–1 and 45–55C without solvent has now been shown to be an efficient, high-yield reaction. Thethreo-isomers are formed from intermediate epoxides by in...

... Another interesting oxidant is hydrogen peroxide since the only by-product formed during the H 2 O 2 based oxidation reaction is water. In the literature, the hydroxylation of unsaturated fatty acids using H 2 O 2 as oxidant was generally performed using tungsten catalytic systems based for examples on tungstic, phosphotungstic or pertungstic acids [13][14][15]. The main drawbacks of these approaches were the need for high concentrations of hydrogen peroxide (up to 70 %) and the use of a phase transfer agent. ...
