Abstract
The metathesis of oleyl chloride (1-chloro-cis-9-octadecene) with an alkene such as 1-hexene, 5-decence, 2-butene, etc., and the disproportionation of oleyl chloride were found to be effectively catalyzed by a modified or unmodified Re2O7–Al2O3 catalyst at ambient temperature. The activity of the modified catalyst with MexOy such as V2O5, MoO3, WO3, GeO2, Re2O7–MexOy–Al2O3, was very high even at low Re contents. This reaction should be important in a synthesis of telechelic compounds or bioactive substances for insects such as sex attractant pheromones.
