“…A renewable monomer that can be obtained from castor oil, undecylenic acid (UA) has numerous uses in pharmaceutical and cosmetic applications [38]. It can also be used to obtain bio-based polyurethanes, polyamides, resins [39], organogels [40], or encapsulations [41], so its potential led to it being chosen as a ring-opening reactant. The first reaction was performed in the same conditions as the ring-opening with MA, with a slight excess of UA, with a conversion of 30% for the epoxy groups.…”

In this study, renewable products with potentially interesting properties and applications were synthesized by functionalizing linseed oil via epoxidation and epoxy ring-opening with carboxylic acids and anhydrides. LDHs (Layered Double Hydroxides), a well-known class of materials used for a wide range of reactions, are the catalysts used in this study, with the overall advantages of facile separation and reusability. In our study, different types of carboxylic acids and anhydrides were employed as reactants with the advantage of leading to sustainable products that can replace petrochemical compounds. Following the optimization of the reaction conditions, including the basicity of the catalyst, at 170 °C a quasi-total conversion of the epoxy groups was achieved for all the ring-opening reagents.
