The ethanolysis of fatty acids derived from seed oils could provide a renewable source of LAOs. olefins (LAOs) and other terminal-olefin products. However, most catalysts for this reaction deactivate after thousands of reaction cycles (turnovers) and thus require unacceptable amounts of catalyst. —Marx et al. Sullivan, A.
