Disclosed is a method of making hydrogenated metathesis products comprising the steps of: (a) providing a metathesis composition; (b) providing a metathesis catalyst comprising a transition metal; (c) metathesizing at least a portion of the metathesis composition in the presence of the metathesis catalyst to form a first composition comprising one or more metathesis products and a transition metal; (d) hydrogenating at least a portion of the first composition in the presence of a hydrogenation catalyst to form a second composition comprising one or more hydrogenated metathesis products, transition metal, and hydrogenation catalyst; and (e) removing at least a portion of the hydrogenation catalyst from the second composition, wherein the removal of the hydrogenation catalyst removes at least a portion of the transition metal of the metathesis catalyst from the second composition.
