Starting from common monounsaturated fatty acids, a strategy is revealed that provides ultra-long aliphatic α,ω-difunctional building blocks by a sequence of two scalable catalytic steps that virtually double the chain length of the starting materials. The central double bond of the α,ω-dicarboxylic fatty acid self-metathesis products is shifted selectively to the statistically much-disfavored α,β-position in a catalytic dynamic isomerizing crystallization approach. “Chain doubling” by a subsequent catalytic olefin metathesis step, which overcomes the low reactivity of this substrates by using waste internal olefins as recyclable co-reagents, yields ultra-long-chain α,ω-difunctional building blocks of a precise chain length, as demonstrated up to a C48 chain. The unique nature of these structures is reflected by unrivaled melting points (Tm=120 °C) of aliphatic polyesters generated from these telechelic monomers, and by their self-assembly to polyethylene-like single crystals.

In order to design sustainable materials from vegetable oilbased fatty acids, we propose herewith a method to obtain unsaturated dicarboxylic acids as a polymerizable monomer through metathesis reaction of oleic and linoleic acids with the 2nd generation Grubbs catalyst. Subsequently, functional green polyester was produced from dicarboxylic acids and aromatic diol. Dicarboxylic acid having similar structure i.e., octadec-9-enedioic acid was successfully obtained from metathesis of both oleic and linoleic acids. Condensation polymerization of octadec-9-enedioic acid with 1,6-hexanediol and 4,4′-biphenol was carried out and it was shown that polymer with aromatic backbone had higher glass-transition temperature than aliphatic polyester.
Isomerizing olefin metathesis as a strategy to access defined distributions of unsaturated compounds from fatty acids
Ohlmann, Dominik M.,Tschauder, Nicole,Stockis, Jean-Pierre,Gooben, Kaethe,Dierker, Markus,Gooben, Lukas J.
experimental part, p. 13716 - 13729 (2012/10/08)
The dimeric palladium(I) complex [Pd(μ-Br)tBu 3P]2 was found to possess unique activity for the catalytic double-bond migration within unsaturated compounds. This isomerization catalyst is fully compatible with state-of-the-art olefin metathesis catalysts. In the presence of bifunctional catalyst systems consisting of [Pd(μ-Br)tBu3P]2 and NHC-indylidene ruthenium complexes, unsaturated compounds are continuously converted into equilibrium mixtures of double-bond isomers, which concurrently undergo catalytic olefin metathesis. Using such highly active catalyst systems, the isomerizing olefin metathesis becomes an efficient way to access defined distributions of unsaturated compounds from olefinic substrates. Computational models were designed to predict the outcome of such reactions. The synthetic utility of isomerizing metatheses is demonstrated by various new applications. Thus, the isomerizing self-metathesis of oleic and other fatty acids and esters provides olefins along with unsaturated mono- and dicarboxylates in distributions with adjustable widths. The cross-metathesis of two olefins with different chain lengths leads to regular distributions with a mean chain length that depends on the chain length of both starting materials and their ratio. The cross-metathesis of oleic acid with ethylene serves to access olefin blends with mean chain lengths below 18 carbons, while its analogous reaction with hex-3-enedioic acid gives unsaturated dicarboxylic acids with adjustable mean chain lengths as major products. Overall, the concept of isomerizing metatheses promises to open up new synthetic opportunities for the incorporation of oleochemicals as renewable feedstocks into the chemical value chain.

The method of the invention is simple to carry out and, compared to other known methods, avoids the environmental constraints and economic disadvantages due to reaction by-products.
The cross-metathesis of methyl oleate with c/s-2-butene-1,4-diyl diacetate and the influence of protecting groups
Behr, Arno,Gomes, Jessica Perez
scheme or table, p. 1 - 8 (2011/03/22)
Background: α,ω-Difunctional substrates are useful intermediates for polymer synthesis. An attractive, sustainable and selective (but as yet unused) method in the chemical industry is the oleochemical cross-metathesis with preferably symmetric functionalised substrates. The current study explores the cross-metathesis of methyl oleate (1) with cis-2-butene-1,4-diyl diacetate (2) starting from renewable resources and quite inexpensive base chemicals. Results: This cross-metathesis reaction was carried out with several phosphine and N-heterocyclic carbene ruthenium catalysts. The reaction conditions were optimised for high conversions in combination with high cross-metathesis selectivity. The influence of protecting groups present in the substrates on the necessary catalyst loading was also investigated. Conclusions: The value-added methyl 11-acetoxyundec-9-enoate (3) and undec-2-enyl acetate (4) are accessed with nearly quantitative oleochemical conversions and high cross-metathesis selectivity under mild reaction conditions. These two cross-metathesis products can be potentially used as functional monomers for diverse sustainable polymers.
