Abstract

PURPOSE:To make good use of resources while converting a marine product oil such as fish oil which was low in utility value hitherto to lactones having wide uses, by oxidizing highly unsaturated fatty acids, introducing a hydroxyl group in the fatty acids, subjecting the fatty acids to intra-ring closure in order to provide the lactones. CONSTITUTION:A purified product or crude purified product of highly unsaturated fatty acid containing much in a marine product oil or fat such as fish oil, especially linoleic acid, arachidonic acid, eicosapentaenoic acid, docosahexaenoic acid or lower alcohol ester thereof is oxidized to introduce hydroxy group or dihydroxy group, which is then subjected to oxidation cleavage to provide hydroxy group and terminal carboxylic acid which are further ring-closed to synthesize the lactones. Thus the aimed stable lactones having wide uses as polyester raw material, perfume, organic intermediate, etc., and having various ring size are obtained in good yield from a marine product oil such as fish oil existing in relatively large quantities and readily available, but limited in uses.

[Effect] In order to increase the selectivity of the reaction, the first oxidation reaction is important; if the double bond near the ω position can be selectively oxidized, a macrocyclic lactone will be produced. However, in reality, the oxidation product is a mixture depending on the number of double bonds present, but purification is possible by easy methods such as distillation until the final lactone is obtained. Compared to the difficulty of purification, it has the advantage that various purification techniques can be applied even during the reaction stage.

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, according to the method for forming lactones from highly unsaturated fatty acids of the present invention, highly unsaturated fatty acids and their esters contained in large amounts in marine fats and oils such as fish oil can be oxidized. Lactone is obtained by forming a hydroxy group or dihydroxy group, and then intramolecularly closing the hydroxy group obtained by oxidative cleavage with a terminal carboxylic acid.It is present in relatively large amounts and is easy to obtain, but its uses are limited. Stable lactones with various ring sizes can be obtained in good yields from marine oils such as fish oil, which can be used for a wide range of applications such as raw materials for polyesters, fragrances, and organic intermediates, allowing for effective use of resources. .
