Abstract A process for preparing primary substituted n-alkane compounds, comprising contacting the olefin product of an olefin metathesis reaction having an alpha-olefin as the reactant with a bis-cyclopentadienyl zirconium hydrohalide and, after contacting the product of the olefin-zirconium hydrohalide reaction with an electrophilic reagent, recovering said primary substi-tuted n-alkane compound. |
