In a previous paper^1), authors assumed that castor oil with some fatty acid groups, which were synthesized with esterification in benzene on boric acid, should be responsible for the taste of the ester compound of castor oil.
In the present study, the reaction of castor oil with a-sulfo fatty acids and their methyl esters produces a mixture of main product and by-products. The total conversion of the main product increases with increasing the concentration of the a-sulfo fatty acid. A possible reaction mechanism was proposed and disussed.
The new type derivaties of castor oil having a-sulfo fatty acid groups were synthesized and their properties surfactant were determined.
