Abstract

Chemistry Chemistry, Physical Physical Sciences Science & Technology
Metathesis of linear alkanes catalyzed by the well-defined precursor ( Si-O-WMe5) affords a wide distribution of linear alkanes from methane up to triacontane. Olefin metathesis using the same catalyst and under the same reaction conditions gives a very striking different distribution of linear alpha-olefins and internal olefins. This shows that olefin and alkane metathesis processes occur via very different pathways.
