Olefin metathesis over mesoporous alumina-supported rhenium oxide catalyst
Rhenium oxide finely dispersed on mesoporous alumina with uniform pore size was found to be a more active and selective catalyst for liquid-phase metathesis reactions of terminal and inner olefins than rhenium oxide on normal gamma-alumina with random pore shape.
