The self-metathesis of methyl oleate (MO) was studied on both Hoveyda-Grubbs complexes supported on silica and methyltrioxorhenium (MTO) supported on SiO2-Al2O3. HG/SiO2 was an efficient catalyst for MO metathesis. MTO/SiO2-Al2O3 was also active for this reaction but the diester product formation was hampered by its strong adsorption on the support.
