benzylidene glycerol were found to be 56.2 and 38.6°, respectively (Stimmel and King,8 62 and 32.5°). Thus, the melting points of the C10 to Ci8 saturated fatty acid beta monoglycerides are all higher than the corresponding benzylidene intermediates. In this, and previous, investigations the reverse relationship was evident for lower members (C2 to Cs) of the series.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
