Abstract
Abstract Successful metathesis is reported for methyl-4-pentenoate, methyl-10- undecenoate and methyl erucate for loadings of 5 to 20% rhenium oxide for a range of aluminas. Rate of reaction is found to depend upon the molecular characteristics of the esters, the amount of supported rhenium oxide and upon the surface properties of the aluminas. Speculations are presented on the state of aggregation of the supported active material and on the molecular factors determining activity.
