Self Metathesis of Fatty Alcohols and Amines to Provide Monomers for Polyester and Polyamide Products

摘要

Summary: Self metathesis of oleochemicals offers a variety of bifunctional compounds, that can be used as monomer for polymer production. Many precursors are in huge scales available, like oleic acid ester (biodiesel), oleyl alcohol (tensides), oleyl amines (tensides, lubricants). We show several ways to produce and separate and purify C₁₈-,ω-bifunctional compounds, using Grubbs 2nd Generation catalysts, starting from technical grade educts.
