Zusammenfassung:	Production of unsaturated fatty alcohols from lauric oils by selective hydrogenation of unsaturated methyl ester fraction separated by fractional crystallisation. Production of unsaturated fatty alcohols comprises: (a) transesterifying a deacidified lauric oil with methanol to obtain a total fatty acid methyl ester mixture; (b) separating the ester mixture into a 12-16C methyl ester fraction (I) and an 18C methyl ester fraction (II) by fractional distillation, where (II) contains practically all of the unsaturated methyl esters; (c) winterizing fraction (II) by solventless fractional crystallization to remove saturated methyl esters; (d) subjecting the winterized fraction (II) to selective hydrogenation to obtain unsaturated fatty alcohols with an iodine number of 90-100; (e) purifying the unsaturated fatty alcohols by distillation; and optionally (f) blending the product with other fatty alcohols to obtain a desired iodine number.
