Cycloaddition of nitrile oxides to jojoba oil Jojoba oil (I) is a natural liquid wax which is attracting considerable interest [1] as a replacement for sperm whale oil, particularly in lubricant applications. It is largely composed of esters of mono-unsaturated fatty acids ([C.sub.18.-C.sub.24]) and mono-unsaturated alcohols ([C.sub.18.-C.sub.24]), the major constituents being icosenyl and docosenyl icosenates (I; m=9, n=10,12). So far examination of its chemical reactivity [1] has concentrated on classic reactions of lipid chemistry, eg halogenation, [2] epoxidation, [3] hydrogenation, [4] ...
