Estolide compositions exhibiting high oxidative stability

Provided herein are polyol estolide compounds. Polyol estolides may be prepared by contacting a polyol with an estolide compound. Also provided are compositions containing polyol estolides and methods of making the same.

Polyol estolides and methods of making and using the same

Provided herein are estolide base oils and oligomeric compounds prepared from processes that include cross metathesis. Exemplary processes include the preparation of terminally-unsaturated fatty acids by cross metathesis, and the subsequent oligomerization of terminally-unsaturated fatty acids to provide estolide compounds, such as the process set forth below: 

Processes for preparing estolide base oils and oligomeric compounds that include cross metathesis

Provided herein are processes for preparing estolides and estolide base oils from fatty acid reactants utilizing catalysts. Further provided herein are processes for preparing carboxylic esters from at least one carboxylic acid reactant and at least one olefin.

Catalytic processes for preparing estolide base oils

Provided herein are methods of processing polyester-containing feedstocks to provide hydrocarbon products. Exemplary feedstocks include those containing estolide compounds, which may be processed under thermal and/or catalytic conditions to provide at least one hydrocarbon product.

Conversion of polyester-containing feedstocks into hydrocarbon products

Provided herein are compositions containing at least one estolide compound and at least one ene and/or Diels Alder compound. In certain embodiments, the addition of at least one ene and/or Diels Alder compound to an estolide-containing composition may improve the cold temperature, viscometric, and/or anti-wear properties of the composition.

Estolide and lubricant compositions that contain ene and Diels Alder compounds

Cooking and frying oils comprising estolide compounds are described. Also described are methods of making food products comprising cooking or otherwise preparing at least one article of food with a composition comprising at least one estolide compound.
