Ruthenium Carbene Mediated Metathesis of Oleate-Type Fatty Compounds

The complexes RuCl2(PCy3)2(=CHPh), 1, and RuCl2(PCy3)(H2IMes)(=CHPh), 2, proved to be active catalysts for the self-metathesis of oleate-type fatty compounds containing the ester, hydroxyl, epoxy and carboxylic acid functional groups. At elevated reaction temperatures 2 showed a higher activity, sta...
