The self-metathesis of 1-octene to form 7-tetradecene catalyzed by ruthenium carbene complexes at low concentrations (0.02 mol %) was investigated in ionic liquids as reaction media and as additives. The study showed that the ionic liquid has a significant effect on the selectivity of the metathesis of 1-octene, with conversion to product of greater than 95% being obtained and selectivities of over 98% being realized. The outcomes of the reactions compared well with those performed under solventless conditions, showing improved conversions and selectivities.
