The Mechanism of Rh-Catalyzed Transformation of Fatty Acids to Linear Alpha olefins

Linear alpha olefins (LAOs) are key commodity chemicals and petrochemical intermediates that are currently produced from fossil resources. Fatty acids are the obvious renewable starting material for LAOs, which can be obtained via transition-metal-catalyzed decarbonylative dehydration. However, even...
