The partial hydrogenation of mixtures of methylcis 6‐,cis 9‐ andcis 12‐octadecenoates followed by the determination of the unreacted monoenes indicated the double bonds in these positions are hydrogenated at the same rates. However, study of a hydrogenation under high isomerization conditions indicated the double bonds very near the carboxyl hydrogenate faster than those near the terminal methyl.
