Different catalysts, namely various loading of perchloric acid on various supports; HClO 4/silica (SiO 2), HClO 4/silica gel (SG) and HClO 4/alumina (Al 2O 3) were tested for the direct addition reaction of oleic acid (OA) to form estolide compounds. The reactions were carried out under vacuum (2 mB...
