[0059] Preparation of Olefin Metathesis Product Mixture

[0060] In a dry box, a toluene solution of the catalytic ruthenium complex (0.01 M) was prepared, bis(tricyclohexylphosphine)benzylidene ruthenium dichloride (Grubb's catalyst). Methyl oleate (Aldrich Company) was degassed with nitrogen and passed through an activated alumina column before use. In a dry box, the following reagents were added to the reactor: methyl oleate (3.50 g, refined as described above), tetradecane (0.50 g, used as an internal standard for gas chromatographic analysis), and catalyst solution (265 µl, 0.01M solution). The molar ratio of methyl oleate to ruthenium is 4452 / 1. The reactor was sealed, removed from the dry box, and connected to an ethylene manifold (ethylene, 99.8% purity, polymer grade). Olefin metathesis was carried out at 60 psig ethylene (413.7 kPa) and 30°C for 4 hours. An aliquot sample was removed from the reactor and analyzed by gas chromatography. A mixture of olefin meta...

[0062] A general method for stabilizing olefin metathesis product mixtures and removing catalytic metals from such mixtures is described below. The crude metathesis product mixture obtained above containing 65 parts per million ruthenium (10 ml aliquots) was slurried with adsorbent (700 mg) in air at room temperature (22 °C) and ambient pressure for 3 h . At the end of the contact time, the mixture was filtered through a Teflon brand tetrafluoroethylene fluorocarbon polymer filter (0.45 micron diameter) to obtain a stable mixture of olefin metathesis products. The stable mixture was analyzed for ruthenium content by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS).

[0063] The general method above was performed with each of the following sorbents: Westvaco Nucal TM SA brand charcoal (Exp.1), once used Westvaco Nuchar TM SA brand carbon (Exp.2), WestvacoNuchar TM SN brand charcoal (Exp.3), Westvaco Nuchar modified by copper TM Brand Charcoal (Exp.4), Cabot Monarch...

[0070] Examples 15-16: Evaluation of stability of metathesis reaction mixtures

[0071] To determine the stability of olefin metathesis product mixtures to olefin isomerization, two such products containing 9-decenoate methyl ester and ruthenium concentrations of 100 ppb (Ex. 15) and 423 ppb (Ex. 16) were included The mixture was heated to 200-220°C and olefin isomerization was monitored by gas chromatographic analysis. Table 2 illustrates the effect of heating cycles on the isomerization of methyl 9-decenoate.

Abstract

The invention relates a process of stabilizing an olefin metathesis product mixture, preferably, against double bond isomerization and thermal and chemical degradation. The process involves (a) contacting an olefin metathesis product mixture comprising one or more olefins produced in a metathesis process, a metathesis catalyst comprising a catalytic metal and one or more ligands, optionally, one or more metathesis catalyst degradation products, and optionally, one or more metals derived from sources other than the catalyst or catalyst degradation product(s), with an adsorbent, more preferably carbon; or alternatively, (b) subjecting the olefin metathesis product mixture to a two-step distillation, preferably, including short path wiped-film evaporation. A stabilized olefin metathesis product mixture is disclosed containing one or more olefins obtained in a metathesis process and having a total concentration of metal(s) of less than about 30 parts per million by weight.
