The oleic acid oxidative cleavage to azelaic and pelargonic acids was developed using molecular oxygen as an oxidizing agent over active WO3/CAB-O-SIL catalyst.  

        Acceptable yields of ~ 20 to 23 % for both azelaic and pelargonic acids were obtained at 150 oC with high conversion (> 95%) of oleic acid.
