CONTEXT
Today with
the rising cost of petroleum base products, the environmental concerns, and the
rarefaction of fossil raw materials there is a renewed interest in renewable
resources. Triglycerides, fatty acids and esters derived from vegetable oils
are very interesting renewable susbstances. Indeed, fatty acids have a long
tradition as monomers in coating resins or as lubricants. They have been used
as received from the plants as air-drying linseed oils or as parts of resins
such as alkyds. All these fatty substances can be chemically modified. The
thiol-ene coupling has been considered recently as a promising mechanism to functionalize
the double bonds of fatty acids.
