The formation of stereoisomers of ozonides on the ozonization of methyl esters of monounsaturated fatty acids in pentane at -70° was demonstrated by thin-layer chromatography, infrared spectra, and other analyses. The cis- and trans-isomers of ozonides of cis- and trans-methyl 9-octadecenoates (methyl oleate and methyl elaidate) were isolated and characterized.
