Abstract
Embodiments of the present disclosure provide for methods of using a catalytic system to chemically transform a compound (e.g., a hydrocarbon). In an embodiment, the method does not employ grafting the catalyst prior to catalysis. In particular, embodiments of the present disclosure provide for a process of hydrocarbon (e.g., C1 to C20 hydrocarbon) metathesis (e.g., alkane, olefin, or alkyne metathesis) transformation, where the process can be conducted without employing grafting prior to catalysis.
Claims19
A method of hydrocarbon metathesis, comprising:
- contacting a partially dehydroxylated metal oxide with a molecular solution including an organometallic compound and one or more hydrocarbons to form a mixture;
- and
- heating that mixture to or at a temperature of at least about 100° C. sufficient to generate a catalyst in situ and achieve hydrocarbon metathesis in a one-pot protocol.
A method of hydrocarbon metathesis, comprising:
- contacting one or more of a precursor inorganic compound, an alkylating agent, a metal oxide, and one or more hydrocarbons to form a mixture;
- and
- heating that mixture to or at a temperature of at least about 100° C. sufficient to generate a catalyst in situ and achieve hydrocarbon metathesis in a one-pot protocol.
