The autoxidation of the methyl ester of α‐elaeostearic acid (the main constituent acid of tung oil) at 37° under ultra‐violet light has been examined. In the main experiment the product obtained after absorption of 0.6 mole of oxygen per mole of ester has been fractionated by molecular distillation, low‐temperature crystallization and solvent extraction. The fractions have been characterized by chemical and physical analysis.
