Disclosed herein are methods for synthesizing fatty olefin metathesis products of high Z-isomeric purity from olefin feedstocks of low Z-isomeric purity. The methods include contacting a contacting an olefin metathesis reaction partner, such as acylated alkenol or an alkenal acetal, with an internal olefin in the presence of a Z-selective metathesis catalyst to form the fatty olefin metathesis product. In various embodiments, the fatty olefin metathesis products are insect pheromones. Pheromone compositions and methods of using them are also described.

The present disclosure relates to the technical field of hexanediol production, and provides a production method and a production device of high-purity 1,6-hexanediol. A dipic acid and a C.sub.6 mixed alcohol are mixed to conduct esterification to obtain a product feed liquid including an adipic acid diester, and the high-purity 1,6-hexanediol is obtained through hydrogenation reduction and distillation. In addition to being used as a reaction raw material, the C.sub.6 mixed alcohol further acts as a water-carrying agent; water produced by the esterification is removed by azeotropy, thereby promoting a smooth reaction process to realize the esterification without a catalyst. The method does not need the catalyst during esterification, and the subsequent hydrogenation reduction can be directly conducted with no complicated post-treatment procedure required after the esterification. In addition, the method has simple preparation steps, recyclable C.sub.6 mixed alcohol, less wastewater production, desirable environmental protection, and high product purity and yield.
