SYNTHETIC FATTY ACID PROCESS ABSTRACT Straight or branch chain primary alcohols of from C-4 to C-30 chain lengths per molecule, or mixtures of branch and straight chains, are selectively reacted with an anhydrous alkali metal hydroxide. In the reaction, the temperature of reaction is gradually increased to maintain the reaction medium in a liquid non-viscous state. The reaction temperature is, however, maintained at a sufficiently low temperature to minimize by-product formation. The process is conducted at temperatures of from about 175°C to about 400°C for sufficient time to form the sodium salt of the acid which is then converted to the acid utilizing a mineral acid.
