Tetradec-2-ene → 1-Tricosene

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 9-triscosene and 9-heneicosene was prepared by following the process described in Example 8, namely by conducting, over 39 g. of the aforedescribed rehenium-containing catalyst, at 60° C., a mixture of 196 g. (0.79 mole) of 9-octadecene, 58 g. (0.26 mole) of 2-hexadecene, and 16 g. (0.08 mole) of 2-tetradecene. After a reaction time of 5 hours and with a throughput of 200 ml. of olefin mixture per hour, 3.2% by weight of tricosene and 1.4% by weight of heneicosene were obtained. The content of the cis-isomer was 24%.
