New materials derived from metathesized soybean oil have been prepared and characterized. Thermal polymerization of metathesized soybean oil in the presence of air results in yellow, brittle gels. These materials display a curious tendency to produce audible popping sounds when exposed to chlorinated organic solvents, such as chloroform or dichloromethane. Complete hydrogenation of metathesized soybean oil has been accomplished in excellent yields utilizing 10% palladium on carbon in dichloromethane. A new, very mild, effective epoxidation procedure for soybean oil, utilizing methyltrioxorhenium (VII) (MTO) and pyridine as the catalyst system and hydrogen peroxide as the oxidant, has been developed. This epoxidation reaction affords excellent yields of epoxidized soybean oil with some control of the degree of epoxidation at very low MTO concentrations (< 0.5 mol%). This reaction is also very effective for the epoxidation of metathesized soybean oil to higher molecular weight epoxidized soybean oil materials. |
