Description Organic derivatives of rhenium oxides and their prepara-tion and use for the metathesis of olefins The present invention relates to organic derivatives of rhenium oxides and to their preparation and use for the metathesis of olefins as such and also derivatives of olefins. ~-The term metathesis designates, as is known, the cleav-age of olefinic compounds in such a way that the double bond is broken apart and the two fragments combine to form new compounds. In the wider sense, metathesis also includes the ring-opening polymerization of cyclo-olefins. As a result of the invention, an organorhenium compound of definite structure, which can be isolated in an undiluted form, becomes a catalyst for the f;rst time.
It is kno~n that compounds of the element rhenium exhi-bit catalytic activity in the metathesis of olefins, specifically only in the metathesis of olefins as such.
Only if so-called co-catalysts, in particular tetra-alkyltin compounds are added to such rhenium catalystsis the metathesis of derivatives of olefins, ie. ole-fins containing heterofunctions, possible (K.J. Ivin~
Olefin Metathesis, Academic Press, London 1983, 32 -34). Thus the metathesis of olefinically unsaturated carboxylic acid esters and of allyl halides and the like on mu~ti-component catalysts, such as ~Cl6/Sn(CH3)4 or ~-Re207/Sn(CH3)4/Al203 has been described. The last-named system (R.A. Fridman et al., Dokl. Akad.
Nauk. SSSR 2 , (1977), 1354 - 57; R.H.A. Bosma et al., J. Organometal. Chem. 225 (1983) 159 - 171; X. Xiaoding et al., J. Chem. Soc. Chem. Commun. 1985, 631 - 633;
G.C.N. van den Aardweg, loc. cit. 1983, 262 - 263) is the only one containing rhenium which is capable of meta-thesizing olefinically unsaturated organic halides, ~ , ' ~-133~56 esters and the like. Hitherto there has been no know-ledge of the effective catalyst species. The following are practical disadvantages of the rhenium-containing catalyst systems hitherto used:
S a) the necessity of using at the same t;me highly toxic tetraalkyltin compounds as activators in the meta-thesis of derivatives of olefins (J.E. Cremer, ~iochem. J. 68 (1958) 685 - 688; ~.N. Aldridge et al., The Lancet, Sept. 26, 1981, page 692/3), b) low catalyst activity, inacceptable for industrial use, and c) a breadth of application with relatively narrow limits, ie. the catalytic action is only found in the case of simple derivatives of olefins or olefins as such.
It was therefore required to find a non-toxic and effective catalyst system which is as readily acces-sible, simple to handle and stable on storage as possible and which is also adequate without any activa-tor in the metathesis of olefin derivatives.
Considerable interest attaches to the industrial fur-ther processing of the products.
Although some so-called "organorhenium oxides", for example CH3ReO3, (n5-Cs(CH3)s)ReO3 (= penta-methylcyclopentadienylrhenium trioxide), are known as catalyst components for the metathesis of olefins by homogeneous catalysis (W.A. Herrmann et al., Angew.
30 Chem. 100 (1988) 420 - 422, translation in Angew. Chem.
Int. Ed. Engl. 27 (1988) 394 - 396), the concomitant use, as activator, of a Lewis acid which is at least partially soluble in organic solvents was, however, always necessary, preferably aluminum(III) chloride and, in most cases, also the concomitant use of toxic tin tetraalkyls (for example Sn(CH3)4) as further activa-tors. Even then the catalyst systems thus obtainable are completely inactive in respect of the metathesis of derivatives of olefins.

~ 13305~6 -It has now been found, surprisingly, that methylrhenium trioxide CH3ReO3 and related compounds of the formula I indicated below are suitable for use as a metathesis catalyst when supported on oxide supporting materials, in particular aluminum oxide supports. The use of additional activator substances ("Co~
catalysts"), which is disadvantageous for many reasons, thus becomes superfluous for the first time.
Thus, according to one aspect, the invention provides a compound of the general formula R aRebOc, wherein a is an integer from 1 to 6, b is an integer from 1 to 4 and c is an integer from ~ -1 to 14 and the sum of a, b and c conforms to the 5- to 7-valency of rhenium with the proviso that c does not exceed 3.b, and wherein R represents alkyl having from 1 to 9 carbon atoms, ;~
cycloalkyl having from 5 to 10 carbon atoms or aralkyl having from 7 to 9 carbon atoms and wherein R1 is unsubstituted or at least ~;;
partially fluorinated, said compounds containing not more than three groups of more than 6 carbon atoms per rhenium atom and containing a hydrogen atom bound to the carbon atom in a-position to the rhenium atom, the methylrhenium oxides CH3ReO3, (CH3)4ReO, (CH ) ReO , [(CH3)3ccH2]3ReO2~ [(CH3)3c CH2]4 2 4' 3 6 2 3 and the pentamethylcyclopentadienyl-rheniumtrioxide (~ -C5(CH3)5)ReO3 being excluded.

Y represents H or alkyl having from 1 to 10 carbon atoms and Z represents H or a non-aromatic hydrocarbon group having from 1 to 6 carbon atoms and R2 represents H, alkyl, halogen, CoOR3 or oR4, wherein R3 and R4 represent alkyl having from 1 to 15 carbon atoms or phenyl which is unsubstituted or contains from 1 to 3 substituents or wherein R4 is 1~ .. ,.:
- ~a~ 23221-4607 1330~66 trialkylsilyl R53Si, wherein R5 represents alkyl having from 1 to 5 carbon atoms, ln the pre~ence of a catalytic composition as defined above.
The invention thus relates to the use of compounds of rhenium which have the general formula RlaRebOc tI) ln whlch a is -~
1 to 6, b i~ 1 to 4 and c ls 1 to 14 and the total of a, b and c ls such that lt accords wlth the pentavalency to heptavalency of rhenlum, subject to the provlso that c ls not greater than 3 x b, and whlch are supported on oxlde supportlng materlals, as heterogeneous catalysts for metathesis. In this connection denotes an organlc group attached to the metal rhenlum via a carbon atom to whlch at least one hydrogen atom is stlll attached, speclflcally alkyl radlcals havlng 1 to 9 carbon atoms, cycloalkyl having 5 to 10 carbon atoms, such as cyclohexyl or l-norbornyl, or aralkyl having 7 to 9 carbon atoms, such as benzyl, but preferably methyl. The term~ alkyl and cycloalkyl naturally imply that these groups contaln no multiple bonds. Rl can be at least partially fluorinated. For steric reason3, however, the presence of more than three groups containing more than 6 carbon atoms per rhenium atom is not possible in the compounds; the compound~ preferably contain only one such group at the most. The term metathesis in this context includes the ring-opening polymerization of cycloolefins.

133Q~66 -4b-Of the compounds of the formula mentioned above, CH3ReO3, (CH3)4ReO, (CH3)3ReO2, l(CH3)3CCH2]3ReO2, 3 3 2]4Re204, (CH3)6Re203 and the pentamethylcyclopentadlenyl-rhenlumtrloxlde (~5-C5(CH3)5)ReO3 are admlttedly known, but the catalytlc activlty of these compound~
wlthout the concomltant use of activators, that is to say their sultability as the sole catalyst, was not known and was as unexpected a~ that of the whole class of compound6. Thls -catalytlc actlon ls all the more surprising because (trlmethylstannoxy)-rhenium trioxlde l(CH3)3SnO]ReO3, which ls lsostructural, 1~ catalytlcally lnactive. This show~ the lmportance of the alkyl groups attached to rhenium for the catalytlc actlvity of the compounds according to the inventlon.
In terms of synthesls, the compounds according to the lnventlon can be syntheslzed ln a very slmple manner from Re207 by means of cu~tomary alkylatlng agents. For example, dlrhenlum heptoxlde ls reacted ln an anhydrous solvent whlch is inert towards the rhenlum compounds, at a temperature from O to 60, preferably 10 to 40C, wlth a solutlon of R12Zn ln whlch Rl has the meanlng lndlcated above, and the volatlle constituents are removed. The compounds accordlng to the inventlon are entlrely lnsensltive to alr and molsture.

fluor;ne, chlorine or bromine, N0z, NR6R7, oR8 and/or alkyl. The radicals R6, R7 and R8 are identical or different and can be hydrogen or alkyl having 1 to 4 carbon atoms. However, the groups YCZ and CZ-(CH2)nR2 S must be different. As halogen, R2 can be fluorine, chlorine, bromine or iodine. If Z is hydrogen and R2 is ~
halogen, the latter is preferably bromine. Examples of -compounds in which at least one X is F are 4-(perfluoro-n-hexyl~but-1-ene, formula (n-C6F13)-CH2-CH2-CH=CH2~
and perfluoropropene C3F6. The number n of units varies, preferably within the range from 1 to 12 and especially up to 8.
The novel catalysts are thus not only active in the case of olefins in which Z = H, but also, for the first time, in the metathesis of partly or completely fluori-nated olefins. They are also suitable for the metathesis of non-terminal olefin derivatives of the formula R9CH=CH-(CH2)nR10 (IV) in which R9 is a branched~ or preferably unbranched, alkyl radical having 1 to 12 carbon atoms, R10 is a carboxyalkyl radi-cal in which the alkyl radical preferably has 1 to 4 carbon atoms, and n represents an integer from 1 to 10.
Methyl oleate (R9 = n-octyl, R10 = C02CH3 and n = 7) may ZS be mentioned as an example.
SiO2/Al203 (for examPle in a ratio by weight of 87:13) and Al203, each of which can be acid, neutral or basic according to its pretreatment, are particularly ~ -suitable as supporting materials. The activity of these catalysts can be increased considerably if the rhenium,compounds are supported on a thoroughly cal- -~-' ~ ; cined, ~ as far as possible anhydrous, support, such as silica/aluminum oxide. This is because if the sup-porting material contains major amounts of moisture,the activity decreases, because the alkyl group attached to rhenium is then partly split off as alkane by means of the water.

The catalytic activity of the catalysts according to the invention for the metathesis of oLefins is higher than that of the rhenium-containing catalyst systems described hitherto. An exemplary proof is afforded by -the systems A1 and V1 (cf. graphs). The system CH3ReO3/
SiO2/Al203 (A1) metathesizes allyl bromide in only 20 minutes to a Q of over 20, peak area of ethylene the ratio Q =
peak area of propane being obtained using propane as predetermined standard and being plotted against time. The shape of the curve provides information on the activity of the particular catalyst system. The standard catalyst NH4tReO4]/SiO2/
Al2/03 (V1) known from the literature is, in contrast, only active in the presence of Sn(CH3)4, and even then only to a comparable extent in 180 minutes. The symbol "r^ 2" is a measure of the agreement between the shape of the curve determined by calculation and the experi-mental values.
The rhenium-containing catalysts hitherto used indus-trially in olefin metathesis are, as a rule, prepared (see ~arwel et al., Chem.-Ztg 1û7 (1983), 115-120) by treating commercially available ammonium perrhenate NH4tReO4] as a solution in dioxane/water with the sup-porting material (as a rule aluminum oxide). The resulting suspension is then evaporated to complete dryness in a water pump vacuum; the dry material is then heated at 550C, first for about 2 hours in a stream of oxygen and then for about 2 hours in a stream of nitrogen. Only the material obtained in this way and cooled to room temperature is employed for catalytic purposes.
For the process according to the invention, on the other hand, it is possible to dispense with these time-consuming and energy-consuming process stages, as a result of ~hich catalysts of better reproducibility are - _ 7 _ 1 3 3 ~
also obtained. For the present process, the catalytically active rhenium compound is applied, pre-ferably at room temperature, from a solvent, preferably a solution of methylene dichloride, to the catalyst 5 support, preferably silica gel/aluminum oxide, and only ~*~
the catalyst support is freed from moisture, before use, for 2 hours at 800C in a stream of nitrogen, in order that the catalyst system may subsequently develop its full activity.
In metathesis using the catalysts according to the invention care must be taken that air and moisture are excluded. The olefins employed must also preferably be dried thoroughly before use. In general, the metathe-sis is carried out at atmospheric pressure and atemperature from 0 to 40C, preferably 10 to 35C. The fact that it is possible to work under such mild reac-tion conditions is a particular advantage of the process according to the invention. It is also pos-sible, however, to use higher temperatures, for exampleup to 100C, or to work under a pressure above or below atmospheric. Usually, however, no advantages are associated there~ith. `~

V1 shows a comparison with A1, A2 shows -the effect of a greater dilution of the catalyst com-pared with A1 and V2 shows a comparison with the rhenium-containing catalyst system hitherto used and known from the literature, as specified by ~arwel et al, l.c. For this purpose 900 mg of neutral aluminum oxide were first impregnated with a solution of 100 mg of ammonium perrhenate NH4CReO4] in 10 ml of dioxane/
water (9+1 parts by volume). The catalyst system was then activated at 550C for 2 hours in a stream of oxygen and then for 2 hours in a stream of nitrogen.
The reaction kinetics tests proceeded analogously to those with methylrhenium trioxide CH3ReO3, but it was necessary for activation to inject 0.005 ml of tetra-methyltin Sn~CH3)4 5 minutes before the addition of olefin, in order to obtain any catalytic effect at all.

in which 14 mg of ammonium perrhenate NH4[ReO4] were absorbed onto 1 9 of SiO2/Al203 and activated in a~ ;~

Description Organic derivatives of rhenium oxides and their prepara-tion and use for the metathesis of olefins The present invention relates to organic derivatives of rhenium oxides and to their preparation and use for the metathesis of olefins as such and also derivatives of olefins. ~-The term metathesis designates, as is known, the cleav-age of olefinic compounds in such a way that the double bond is broken apart and the two fragments combine to form new compounds. In the wider sense, metathesis also includes the ring-opening polymerization of cyclo-olefins. As a result of the invention, an organorhenium compound of definite structure, which can be isolated in an undiluted form, becomes a catalyst for the f;rst time.
It is kno~n that compounds of the element rhenium exhi-bit catalytic activity in the metathesis of olefins, specifically only in the metathesis of olefins as such.
Only if so-called co-catalysts, in particular tetra-alkyltin compounds are added to such rhenium catalystsis the metathesis of derivatives of olefins, ie. ole-fins containing heterofunctions, possible (K.J. Ivin~
Olefin Metathesis, Academic Press, London 1983, 32 -34). Thus the metathesis of olefinically unsaturated carboxylic acid esters and of allyl halides and the like on mu~ti-component catalysts, such as ~Cl6/Sn(CH3)4 or ~-Re207/Sn(CH3)4/Al203 has been described. The last-named system (R.A. Fridman et al., Dokl. Akad.
Nauk. SSSR 2 , (1977), 1354 - 57; R.H.A. Bosma et al., J. Organometal. Chem. 225 (1983) 159 - 171; X. Xiaoding et al., J. Chem. Soc. Chem. Commun. 1985, 631 - 633;
G.C.N. van den Aardweg, loc. cit. 1983, 262 - 263) is the only one containing rhenium which is capable of meta-thesizing olefinically unsaturated organic halides, ~ , ' ~-133~56 esters and the like. Hitherto there has been no know-ledge of the effective catalyst species. The following are practical disadvantages of the rhenium-containing catalyst systems hitherto used:
S a) the necessity of using at the same t;me highly toxic tetraalkyltin compounds as activators in the meta-thesis of derivatives of olefins (J.E. Cremer, ~iochem. J. 68 (1958) 685 - 688; ~.N. Aldridge et al., The Lancet, Sept. 26, 1981, page 692/3), b) low catalyst activity, inacceptable for industrial use, and c) a breadth of application with relatively narrow limits, ie. the catalytic action is only found in the case of simple derivatives of olefins or olefins as such.
It was therefore required to find a non-toxic and effective catalyst system which is as readily acces-sible, simple to handle and stable on storage as possible and which is also adequate without any activa-tor in the metathesis of olefin derivatives.
Considerable interest attaches to the industrial fur-ther processing of the products.
Although some so-called "organorhenium oxides", for example CH3ReO3, (n5-Cs(CH3)s)ReO3 (= penta-methylcyclopentadienylrhenium trioxide), are known as catalyst components for the metathesis of olefins by homogeneous catalysis (W.A. Herrmann et al., Angew.
30 Chem. 100 (1988) 420 - 422, translation in Angew. Chem.
Int. Ed. Engl. 27 (1988) 394 - 396), the concomitant use, as activator, of a Lewis acid which is at least partially soluble in organic solvents was, however, always necessary, preferably aluminum(III) chloride and, in most cases, also the concomitant use of toxic tin tetraalkyls (for example Sn(CH3)4) as further activa-tors. Even then the catalyst systems thus obtainable are completely inactive in respect of the metathesis of derivatives of olefins.
, .. , . , .. . . ... .. --.,,. -- . .. . . . .
~ 13305~6 -It has now been found, surprisingly, that methylrhenium trioxide CH3ReO3 and related compounds of the formula I indicated below are suitable for use as a metathesis catalyst when supported on oxide supporting materials, in particular aluminum oxide supports. The use of additional activator substances ("Co~
catalysts"), which is disadvantageous for many reasons, thus becomes superfluous for the first time.

The term~ alkyl and cycloalkyl naturally imply that these groups contaln no multiple bonds. Rl can be at least partially fluorinated. For steric reason3, however, the presence of more than three groups containing more than 6 carbon atoms per rhenium atom is not possible in the compounds; the compound~ preferably contain only one such group at the most. The term metathesis in this context includes the ring-opening polymerization of cycloolefins.

wlthout the concomltant use of activators, that is to say their sultability as the sole catalyst, was not known and was as unexpected a~ that of the whole class of compound6.

In terms of synthesls, the compounds according to the lnventlon can be syntheslzed ln a very slmple manner from Re207 by means of cu~tomary alkylatlng agents.

However, the groups YCZ and CZ-(CH2)nR2 S must be different. As halogen, R2 can be fluorine, chlorine, bromine or iodine. If Z is hydrogen and R2 is ~

and perfluoropropene C3F6. The number n of units varies, preferably within the range from 1 to 12 and especially up to 8.
The novel catalysts are thus not only active in the case of olefins in which Z = H, but also, for the first time, in the metathesis of partly or completely fluori-nated olefins. They are also suitable for the metathesis of non-terminal olefin derivatives of the formula R9CH=CH-(CH2)nR10 (IV) in which R9 is a branched~ or preferably unbranched, alkyl radical having 1 to 12 carbon atoms, R10 is a carboxyalkyl radi-cal in which the alkyl radical preferably has 1 to 4 carbon atoms, and n represents an integer from 1 to 10.
Methyl oleate (R9 = n-octyl, R10 = C02CH3 and n = 7) may ZS be mentioned as an example.
SiO2/Al203 (for examPle in a ratio by weight of 87:13) and Al203, each of which can be acid, neutral or basic according to its pretreatment, are particularly ~ -suitable as supporting materials. The activity of these catalysts can be increased considerably if the rhenium,compounds are supported on a thoroughly cal- -~-' ~ ; cined, ~ as far as possible anhydrous, support, such as silica/aluminum oxide. This is because if the sup-porting material contains major amounts of moisture,the activity decreases, because the alkyl group attached to rhenium is then partly split off as alkane by means of the water.

The catalytic activity of the catalysts according to the invention for the metathesis of oLefins is higher than that of the rhenium-containing catalyst systems described hitherto. An exemplary proof is afforded by -the systems A1 and V1 (cf. graphs). The system CH3ReO3/
SiO2/Al203 (A1) metathesizes allyl bromide in only 20 minutes to a Q of over 20, peak area of ethylene the ratio Q =
peak area of propane being obtained using propane as predetermined standard and being plotted against time. The shape of the curve provides information on the activity of the particular catalyst system. The standard catalyst NH4tReO4]/SiO2/
Al2/03 (V1) known from the literature is, in contrast, only active in the presence of Sn(CH3)4, and even then only to a comparable extent in 180 minutes. The symbol "r^ 2" is a measure of the agreement between the shape of the curve determined by calculation and the experi-mental values.
The rhenium-containing catalysts hitherto used indus-trially in olefin metathesis are, as a rule, prepared (see ~arwel et al., Chem.-Ztg 1û7 (1983), 115-120) by treating commercially available ammonium perrhenate NH4tReO4] as a solution in dioxane/water with the sup-porting material (as a rule aluminum oxide). The resulting suspension is then evaporated to complete dryness in a water pump vacuum; the dry material is then heated at 550C, first for about 2 hours in a stream of oxygen and then for about 2 hours in a stream of nitrogen. Only the material obtained in this way and cooled to room temperature is employed for catalytic purposes.
For the process according to the invention, on the other hand, it is possible to dispense with these time-consuming and energy-consuming process stages, as a result of ~hich catalysts of better reproducibility are - _ 7 _ 1 3 3 ~
also obtained. For the present process, the catalytically active rhenium compound is applied, pre-ferably at room temperature, from a solvent, preferably a solution of methylene dichloride, to the catalyst 5 support, preferably silica gel/aluminum oxide, and only ~*~
the catalyst support is freed from moisture, before use, for 2 hours at 800C in a stream of nitrogen, in order that the catalyst system may subsequently develop its full activity.
In metathesis using the catalysts according to the invention care must be taken that air and moisture are excluded. The olefins employed must also preferably be dried thoroughly before use. In general, the metathe-sis is carried out at atmospheric pressure and atemperature from 0 to 40C, preferably 10 to 35C. The fact that it is possible to work under such mild reac-tion conditions is a particular advantage of the process according to the invention. It is also pos-sible, however, to use higher temperatures, for exampleup to 100C, or to work under a pressure above or below atmospheric. Usually, however, no advantages are associated there~ith. `~

The volatile constituents were then stripped off under an oil pump vacuum into a cold trap. The residue was sublimed in a high vacuum at 40-55C onto a water-cooled sublimation finger. This gave 3.89 9 (78X of theory) of colorless, mostly needle-shaped~ crystals of the catalyst CH3ReO3. The synthesis is also possible using unsublimed Re207, but the yields are then lower.

V1 shows a comparison with A1, A2 shows -the effect of a greater dilution of the catalyst com-pared with A1 and V2 shows a comparison with the rhenium-containing catalyst system hitherto used and known from the literature, as specified by ~arwel et al, l.c. For this purpose 900 mg of neutral aluminum oxide were first impregnated with a solution of 100 mg of ammonium perrhenate NH4CReO4] in 10 ml of dioxane/
water (9+1 parts by volume). The catalyst system was then activated at 550C for 2 hours in a stream of oxygen and then for 2 hours in a stream of nitrogen.
The reaction kinetics tests proceeded analogously to those with methylrhenium trioxide CH3ReO3, but it was necessary for activation to inject 0.005 ml of tetra-methyltin Sn~CH3)4 5 minutes before the addition of olefin, in order to obtain any catalytic effect at all.
A direct comparison was afforded by comparison test V1, j~
in which 14 mg of ammonium perrhenate NH4[ReO4] were absorbed onto 1 9 of SiO2/Al203 and activated in a~ ;~
