Patent number: 5929298Abstract: This invention provides a process for preparing conjugated dienes using certain substituted rhenium compounds as catalysts. The substituted rhenium compounds have the formula R.sub.5 ReO.sub.3, wherein R.sub.5 is selected from the group consisting of C.sub.1 -C.sub.10 alkyl, aryl, aryl-C.sub.1 -C.sub.10 alkyl, cyclopentadienyl and cyclopentadienyl substituted with one to four C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkyl groups. The process of the invention thus provides a facile method for preparing conjugated dienes using the corresponding tertiary vinyl alcohol as starting material. Examples of such starting materials includes phytols, manool, 5-vinyl-5-nonanol, 1-vinyl4-tert-butylcyclohexanol, and 1-vinylcyclooctanol. The process can be carried out neat as well as in an inert solvent in the gas or solution phase.Type: GrantFiled: July 13, 1998Date of Patent: July 27, 1999Assignee: Eastman Chemical CompanyInventor: John Anthony Hyatt
