Abstract
The autoxidation of monolayers of maleic anhydride β‐elaeostearin is examined in detail and a free radical mechanism proposed. The effect of temperature and pressure on the rate of oxidation over a very wide pH range has been investigated, and the variation of oxidation rate with pH shown to be of the form to be anticipated from the postulated mechanism. The absolute values of such constants as can be separately determined are consistent with the physical picture of the process.Keywords
