Catalytic Transformation of Seed Oil Derivatives via Olefin Metathesis
نویسندگان
چکیده
Unsaturated fatty acid esters derived from seed oils undergo metathesis at the C=C bond to give new internal and terminal olefins of interest in chemical manufacturing. The key to realizing this industrial opportunity is the ability to deploy catalysts that tolerate functional groups and remain reactive towards internal olefins even at high conversions. Recent developments in catalyst and reactor design are bringing these targets closer to commercial reality.

Highly efficient conversion of plant oil to bio-aviation fuel and valuable chemicals by combination of enzymatic transesterification, olefin cross-metathesis, and hydrotreating
Background The production of fuels and chemicals from renewable resources is increasingly important due to the environmental concern and depletion of fossil fuel. Despite the fast technical development in the production of aviation fuels, there are still several shortcomings such as a high cost of raw materials, a low yield of aviation fuels, and poor process techno-economic consideration. In r...
متن کاملSunflower-based Feedstocks in Nonfood Applications: Perspectives from Olefin Metathesis
Sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) oil remains under-utilised albeit one of the major seed oils produced world-wide. Moreover, the high oleic sunflower varieties make the oil attractive for applications requiring high temperature processes and those targeting the C=C double bond functionality. Herein an overview of the recent developments in olefin metathesis of sunflower-based feedstocks is pres...
متن کاملNew Monomers and Polymers from Plant Oils via Thiol-ene Additions
We recently reported on the synthesis of different chain length α,ω-diester monomers from plant oil derived fatty acid esters or fatty alcohols via olefin cross-metathesis with methyl acrylate taking advantage of natures "synthetic pool" of fatty acids with different chain lengths and positions of double bonds. [1,2,3] Similarly, we could show that their cross-metathesis with allyl chloride all...
متن کاملMultiple Olefin Metathesis Polymerization That Combines All Three Olefin Metathesis Transformations: Ring-Opening, Ring-Closing, and Cross Metathesis.
We demonstrated tandem ring-opening/ring-closing metathesis (RO/RCM) polymerization of monomers containing two cyclopentene moieties and postmodification via insertion polymerization. In this system, well-defined polymers were efficiently formed by tandem cascade RO/RCM reaction pathway. Furthermore, these polymers could be transformed to new A,B-alternating copolymers via a sequential cross me...
