Abstract
This paper reviews a part of the rich fi eld of oleochemicals, their synthesis and applications as precursors
for polymers by referring to published data rather than discussing details of different reactions. The hope
is to help readers in fi nding leads in the vast research area carried out over a long period of time, to avoid
traps and to inspire new ideas for oil-based products and processes.
