Disproportionation of 2-pentene in the presence of complex catalysts on polymeric supports

Abstract

1. By polymerizing various monomers in the presence of transition-metal salts (e.g., WCl6) and a Grignard reagent, disproportionation catalysts containing a carbochain polymeric support have been obtained. Lewis acids were used as cocatalysts for the disproportionation of the olefins. 2. The activity and selectivity in the action of the catalytic systems obtained have been studied as a function of the nature of the cocatalyst, the ratio of the components, and the nature of the solvent in the disproportionation of 2-pentene.
