The present invention describes the use of soluble metal salts to reduce impurities and metathesis catalysts poisons from olefinic feedstocks to improve olefin metathesis efficiency. The soluble metal salts were added to the olefinic feedstocks to prevent peroxides and catalyst poisons from inhibiting the metathesis catalyst. The soluble metal salts remain in the olefinic feedstocks and are used without further purification in the olefin metathesis reactions. The key to this invention is the soluble metal salt compounds do not inhibit the olefin metathesis catalysts but unexpectedly increase olefin metathesis catalyst efficiency while prior art heterogeneous metal complexes sequester the olefin metathesis catalyst, preventing olefin metathesis.
Selective long-distance isomerization of terminal alkenes to silyl enol ethers proceeded via nondissociative chain walking using phenanthroline palladium catalysts. Notable features achieved taking advantage of the nondissociative chain walking mechanism include high efficiency obtained regardless of the chain length, high chemoselectivity toward terminal alkenes over internal ones, and retention of

Described herein are compounds and methods of catalyzing ethenolysis reactions, optionally on an industrial scale. In certain embodiments, the catalysts bear cyclic alkyl amino carbene (CAAC) ligands with an ortho substituent, such as a methyl substituent, on an N-aryl ring. When used to catalyze ethenolysis reactions, certain such compounds produce a turnover number greater than 50,000.

A method of isomerizing a substance includes combining a substance including a terminal alkenyl group and a substance including a fluorosulfonic acid group in a reaction mixture, and forming a substance including a 2-alkenyl group from the substance including a terminal alkenyl group in the reaction mixture. The method may be used to functionalize a substance, as the substance including a 2-alkenyl group can be reacted with a functionalizing agent to form a substance including a first functional group. The methods may be used to form a dicarboxylic acid, such as suberic acid, from a renewable feedstock.
