CH3ReO3 (MTO) interacting with the surface of extensively chlorinated γ-Al2O3 is a highly active catalyst for olefin metathesis. Its activity, selectivity and stability exceed that of any other reported MTO-based catalyst as measured in propene metathesis, including MTO/SiO2-Al2O3 and MTO/ZnCl2/γ-Al2O3, and are far higher than MTO/γ-Al2O3.
