Zusammenfassung: | The invention provides a method for synthesizing a fatty olefin derivative. In some embodiments, the method includes: a) contacting an unsaturated olefin with an unsaturated fatty acid ester in the presence of a metathesis catalyst under conditions sufficient to form a metathesis product and b) converting the metathesis product to the fatty olefin derivative. In certain embodiments, the metathesis catalyst is a tungsten catalyst or a molybdenum catalyst. In various embodiments, the fatty olefin derivative is an insect pheromone. Pheromone compositions and methods of using them are also described. |
