Abstract:
1. A method of making an organic compound, the method comprising: (a) providing a starting composition comprising an unsaturated glyceride represented by the formula: wherein -A, —B, and —C are independently selected from the group consisting of: with the proviso that at least one of -A, —B, or —C is and wherein (b) cross-metathesizing the unsaturated glyceride with a short-chain olefin in the presence of a metathesis catalyst to form cross-metathesis products comprising: (c) separating at least a portion of the one or more metathesized unsaturated glycerides from the cross-metathesis products; (d) isomerizing the separated one or more metathesized unsaturated glycerides to form one or more isomerized separated metathesized unsaturated glycerides having a terminal olefin; and (e) catalytically modifying the carbon-carbon double bond of the one or more separated metathesized unsaturated glycerides or the one or more isomerized separated metathesized unsaturated glycerides by hydrocyanation to form a hydrocyanated glyceride.
