TECHNOLOGY FOCUS - ORGANIC CHEMISTRY - Preferred Method: The method (M1) further involves compounding at least one of such class of molecules with saturated plant oils to obtain a resulting compound that possesses the beneficial properties of both saturated and unsaturated plant oils; selecting a plant-oil based methyl linoleate or methyl oleate; attaining an intermediate molecule from the methyl linoleate or methyl oleate through epoxidation, using hydrogen peroxide and formic acid to split each of the double carbon bonds in the methyl linoleate and attach an oxygen atom at each pair of carbons formerly sharing the double bond; and then synthesizing either from the intermediate molecule through esterification a member of a class of molecules consisting of a variant from octadecanoic acid that attaches to the identified carbons, instead of single hydrogen molecules, at 6C a first branch that is a 5-9C chain fatty acid, at 7C a first hydroxy group, at 9C a second branch that is also a 5-9C chain fatty acid or a hydroxy group, and at 10C a second hydroxy group or 5-9C chain fatty acid; or from the first intermediate molecule, using hydrolysis, water and thionyl chloride, a second intermediate molecule in which two hydroxy groups are attached at the immediately adjacent 9C, 10C; and then synthesizing from the second intermediate molecule through esterification a member of a class of molecules consisting of a variant from octadecanoic acid that has an OH group at each of 9C and 12C, and a 5-9C chain fatty acid branching attached at 10C and 13C, further involves using a tertiary amine in the presence of methanol and the intermediate molecule to perform the esterification, or using butyric anhydride, boron trifluoride, and pyridine to produce a variant from octadecanoic acid for producing methyl octadecanoate 10,13 butyrate. The step of attaining an intermediate molecule from the methyl linoleate or methyl oleate through epoxidation further involves preparing performic acid, by mixing 35% hydrogen peroxide (20 ml) and formic acid (125 ml) at 0 degrees C; adding slowly performic acid to the methyl linoleate or methyl oleate; stirring the mixture of methyl linoleate or methyl oleate and performic acid for 8 hours at 40 degrees C; then stirring the mixture at room temperature overnight; distilled the mixture in vacuo (10 mm); diluting the residue with water; and, extracting the intermediate molecule with ether. The step of synthesizing from the intermediate molecule through esterification a member of a class of molecules consisting of a variant from octadecanoic acid that attaches to the identified carbons, instead of single hydrogen molecules, at 6C a first branch that is a 5-9 (preferably 5)C chain fatty acid, at 7C a first hydroxy group, at 9C a second branch that is also a 5-9 (preferably 5)C chain fatty acid or hydroxy group, and at 10C a second hydroxy group or branch that is also a 5-9C chain fatty acid, further involves using a tertiary amine in the presence of methanol and the intermediate molecule to perform the esterification, and thus creating methyl 9,12-dihydroxyoctadecanoate 10,13-dibutyrate. The step of synthesizing from the intermediate molecule through esterification a member of a class of molecules consisting of a variant from octadecanoic acid that has at 9C a hydroxy group and at 10C a branch that is a 5-9C chain fatty acid, further involves using butyric acid, tertiary amine, methanol and the intermediate molecule to perform the esterification, to produce methyl 10-hydroxyoctadecanoate 9-butyrate or using nonanoic acid, tertiary amine, methanol and the intermediate molecule to perform the esterification, to produce methyl 10-hydroxyoctadecanoate 9-nonanoate. The method (M1) involves starting with a plant-oil base containing both saturated and unsaturated oils; using esterification on the plant-oil base to produce saturated and unsaturated methyl esters; synthesizing from a specific methyl ester a base stock with desired characteristics by inducing any of hydroxy groups and 5-9C chain branching on selected carbons of the specific methyl ester; and blending the base stock with the saturated and unsaturated methyl esters in varying proportions to produce a plant-oil based resulting product, which is then used as any of a fuel, oil, and lubricant. The method (M1) further involves synthesizing from a specific methyl ester a base stock (S1) with desired characteristics by inducing any of hydroxy groups and 5-9C chain branching on selected carbons of the specific methyl ester and blending the base stock with the saturated and unsaturated methyl esters in varying proportions to produce a plant-oil based resulting product; blending a proportion of the non-synthesized, saturated and unsaturated methyl esters where the proportion of methyl palmitate, methyl stearate, and methyl oleate each is 3-15 wt.%; blending the base stock, the saturated unsaturated methyl esters, and unsaturated methyl esters in varying proportions with an additive, where the additive is 0-50 wt.%; using a palm oil as the plant oil base; producing from the palm oil methyl esters of palmitate, stearate, oleate, and linoleate; using the linoleate to produce a first class of base stock; blending the palmitate, stearate, and a portion of the methyl oleate to produce a second class of base stock, leaving a remainder of methyl oleate; using a portion of the remainder of methyl oleate to produce a third class of base stock; combining a portion of the first class of base stock, a portion of the second class of base stock, and a portion of the third class of base stock to produce a plant-oil based fuel, oil or lubricant with the desired functional characteristics; and adding an additive. The step of blending the palmitate, stearate, and a portion of the methyl oleate to produce a second class of base stock, leaving a remainder of methyl oleate further involves blending equal portions of methyl palmitate and stearate with the portion of methyl oleate in a ratio of 1.6:1 to 20:1, by weight. Preferred Components: The first class of base stock comprises the final product (2-15 wt.%); the second class of base stock comprises the final product (40-80 wt.%); the third class of base stock comprises the final product (2-15 wt.%); and an additive comprises the final product (0-50 wt.%), where the total of first class of base stock, second class of base stock, third class of base stock, and additive, equals the final product (100 wt.%).
