“…Melting points of the synthetic wax esters are listed in Tables I and II. Melting points for some of these compounds have been reported in the literature and have been quoted in reviews (1-3) as well as in more current publications (4,5). Discrepancies among literature data or between them and our data probably are due to impurities which were not recognized at the time when analytical methods were less sensitive than now.…”

Saturated, monoenoic and dienoic wax esters, C26−C40, have been synthesized from even‐numbered fatty alcohols and acids. In homologous series of saturated esters, the increments of melting points follow a regular trend except for those esters which have an acid moiety two carbon atoms shorter than the alcohol moiety. These wax esters have melting points higher than interpolation would predict. Monoenoic wax esters with the double bond in the alcohol chain have melting points about 10 C higher than their isomers with the double bond in the acid chain.

Infrared spectra and x‐ray diffraction photographs have been recorded for some normal‐chain esters of long chain acids and long chain alcohols. The substances show no polymorphism but two different structure types exist, one with the chains tilting towards the end group planes and one with vertical chains. The IR spectra permit determination of the chain length of the acid methylene chain. The length of the alcohol chain cannot be deduced.
