2990. ----- [RUHRCHEMIE, A. G.] [Oxidation of Synthetic Paraffin.] Belgian Patent 452,595, Oct. 6, 1943. Chem. Zentralb., 1945, I, p. 490.

Synthetic paraffins with > 16 C atoms are converted to fatty acids with nitrous gases in presence of H₂SO₄. The nitrous gases are recycled and again oxidized with O₂.
