t/°CT/KChemical Name
48.5321.71-Octadecatrienol; C18H32O; [506-44-5]
62.0335.21-Octadecadienol; C18H34O; [506-43-4]
74.5347.71-Octadecenol; C18H36O; [143-28-2]
 Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
   The synthetic method was used. A Reichert microscope, type RCH, equipped with a heating stage was used as described in Schmid, et al.1 The disappearance and reappearance of the interface between (1) and (2) could be observed without difficulty.
