C18:1 Methyl Ester Metathesis in [bmim][X] Type Ionic Liquids

The efficacyof [bmim][X] ionic liquids (ILs) (X = PF6–, BF4– and NTf2–) as reaction media for methyl oleate metathesis was compared with that of conventional organic solvents (PhCl, PhMe, DCM and DCE) using the well-defined first and second generation Grubbs precatalysts, RuCl2(PCy3)(L)(=CHPh) (L =...
