Mixed-oxide catalysts for the metathesis of functionalized alkenes
Abstract
Low-rhenium-loading Re2O7/Al2O3–MR4(M = Sn or Pb; R = Me, Et, or Bu) catalysts show good activity at room temperature (293 ± 2 K) for the metathesis of functionalized alkenes, such as unsaturated esters, when they are modified with MoO3, V2O5, or WO3.
