where, AME is the integration value of the protons of the methyl
esters (the strong singlet peak), and AaCH2
is the integration value
of the methylene protons. Factors 2 and 3, in the numerator and
denominator respectively, are attributed to the fact that methylene
carbon possesses two protons and the alcohol (methanol derived)
carbon has three attached protons.
