 1684.    HIROSE, S., NOBORI, H., AND NOGUSHI, M.  Manufacture of Fatty Acids by the Oxidation of Paraffin.  IV.  Composition of Refined Fatty Acids.  Jour. Soc. Chem. Ind. (Japan), vol. 45, 1942, pp. 541-544; Chem. Abs., vol. 43, 1949, p. 9029.

       Refined fatty acids were prepared as follows:  Oxidized paraffin was saponified and the unchanged paraffin was removed.  The saponified product was treated at high temperature and the unsaponified matter was extracted with C₆H₆.  The crude fatty acids were then distilled under reduced pressure.  Properties of the distillates are tabulated.
