PROCESS FOR ISOMERIZATION AND DECARBOXYLATION OF UNSATURATED ORGANIC COMPOUNDS WITH A METAL CATALYST OR CATALYST PRECURSOR

摘要

Disclosed is the use of a metal catalyst or catalyst precursor that catalyzes the isomerization of an unsaturated fatty acid, unsaturated fatty acid derivative, or an unsaturated triglyceride. Also disclosed is the use of a metal catalyst or catalyst precursor that catalyzes the decarboxylation of an unsaturated organic compound. Also disclosed is the use of a catalyst or catalyst precursor for the dual function isomerization and decarboxylation of an unsaturated fatty acid to an unsaturated organic compound.
