Catalytic Process to Reduce 1,2,4-Trioxolanes from Unsaturated Fatty Acid Methyl Ester Oxidation by Ozone

Formation of methyl-9-oxononanoate as precursor of the polymer industry was produced by a clean and safe way (no solvent and mild conditions). The high selectivity (over 90%) of the process make this work full of interest for future utilization of vegetable as raw materials in the polymer industries.
