A method of isomerizing methyl 9-decenoate in a reaction mixture, and forming methyl 8-decenoate, and reacting the methyl 8-decenoate by metathesis to form 1,16-dimethyl 8-hexadecenedioate, and hydrogenating 1,16-dimethyl 8-hexadecenedioate to form 1,16-dimethyl hexadecanedioate. In some embodiments, the 1,16-dimethyl hexadecanedioate can be converted to hexadecanedioic acid.

Methods of making functionalized internal olefins and uses thereof

This application relates to branched diester compositions that can be used as a base stock for lubricant applications, or as a base stock blend component for use in a finished lubricant or for particular applications, and methods for making the same.

Branched diesters for use as a base stock and in lubricant applications

Disclosed are polymer-based dielectric compositions (e.g., formulations) and materials (e.g. films) and associated devices. The polymers generally include photocrosslinkable pendant groups; for example, the polymers can include one or more coumarin-containing pendant groups.

Photocurable polymeric dielectrics and methods of preparation and use thereof

Disclosed are new compounds having semiconducting properties. Such compounds can be processed in solution-phase at a temperature of less than about 50&#xb0; C. into thin film semiconductors that exhibit high carrier mobility and/or good current modulation characteristics.

Compounds having semiconducting properties and related compositions and devices

Methods are provided for refining natural oil feedstocks and producing isomerized esters and acids. The methods comprise providing a C4-C18 unsaturated fatty ester or acid, and isomerizing the fatty acid ester or acid in the presence of heat or an isomerization catalyst to form an isomerized fatty ester or acid. In some embodiments, the methods comprise forming a dibasic ester or dibasic acid prior to the isomerizing step. In certain embodiments, the methods further comprise hydrolyzing the dibasic ester to form a dibasic acid. In certain embodiments, the olefin is formed by reacting the feedstock in the presence of a metathesis catalyst under conditions sufficient to form a metathesized product comprising olefins and esters, separating the olefins from the esters in the metathesized product, and transesterifying the esters in the presence of an alcohol to form a transesterified product having unsaturated esters.

Methods of refining and producing isomerized fatty acid esters and fatty acids from natural oil feedstocks

The present invention relates to certain polymeric compounds based upon a head-to-head (H&#x2014;H) alkylthio-substituted bithiophene repeating units (e.g., 3,3'-bis(tetradecylthio)-2,2&#x2032;-bithiophene). Such compounds can exhibit desirable electronic properties and possess processing advantages including solution-processability and/or good stability at ambient conditions.
