Abstract: A method for modifying ethylenic unsaturation in a triglyceride. One or more unsaturated fatty acyl moieties present in the triglyceride are substituted with a a lactone substitution, a dihydrofuran substitution, or a ketone substitution via an electron acceptor mediated reaction. The resulting reaction products are useful, for example, as lubricants, metalworking fluids, mold release agents, hydraulic fluids, or dielectric fluids, or as components of lubricants, metalworking fluids, mold release agents, hydraulic fluids, or dielectric fluids, and modified fatty acids for polymer synthesis.

Abstract: A method for modifying ethylenic unsaturation in a triglyceride. One or more unsaturated fatty acyl moieties present in the triglyceride are substituted with a lactone or ketone moiety via a electron donor mediated reaction. The resulting reaction products are useful, for example, as formulations for lubricants, hydraulic fluids, dielectric fluids, and intermediates for polymer synthesis.

Abstract: A method of producing an antioxidant containing derivatives of an organic compound, and in particular, an antioxidant glyceride derivative, comprises reacting a first compound with a second medium. By this reaction, a product is formed whereby an active component of the first compound, e.g., an antioxidant moiety, is covalently incorporated into the second medium.The second medium comprises glyceride derivatives, silicones, fluorocarbons and alkoxylates containing reactive groups such as hydroxy, amino, carboxyl, ester, or amides.

Abstract: A method of solubilizing a first compound in a second medium where the first compound has a limited solubility in the second medium. In particular, the method comprises reacting the first compound with the second medium. By this reaction, a product is formed whereby an active component of the first compound is covalently incorporated into the second medium.The first compound and second medium each contain at least one reactive group which will react with a reactive group of the other. In addition, the first compound comprises at least one antioxidant which will be covalently bonded to and thus effectively solubilized in the second medium by the reaction.The second medium comprises glyceride derivatives, silicones, fluorocarbons and alkoxylates containing reactive groups such as hydroxy, amino, carboxyl, ester, or amides.
