TL;DR: The remarkable advances made during the last decade in organic synthesis, catalysis, and biotechnology using plant oils and the basic oleochemicals derived from them will be reported, including, for example, ω-functionalization of fatty acids containing internal double bonds, application of the olefin metathesis reaction, and de novo synthesis of fatty fatty acids from abundantly available renewable carbon sources.

TL;DR: Of considerable significance is that, with the use of gene technology, natural oils and fats have been improved significantly and will be improved still further, insofar as they show a more uniform and often unusual fatty acid spectrum.

TL;DR: Oligomeric polyether polyols were obtained through the acid-catalyzed ring-opening polymerization of epoxidized methyl oleate and the subsequent partial reduction of ester groups to give primary alcohols as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: In den vergangenen zehn years, a betrachtliche Verlagerung der oleochemischen Produktion sowohl geographisch als auch hinsichtlich des Rohstoffs stattgefunden: von Nordamerika und Westeuropa nach Sudostasien bzw. von Rindertalg zu Palmol.

TL;DR: In this paper, the C-C-Doppelbindung in the Alkylkette is used for the selektiven Funktionalisierung of Fettstoffe.
