It is known from U.S. Palent No. 4,~68,836 how to prepare cycloalkadienes by metathesis of cycloalkamanoen~s in the presence of a carrier catalyst based on Re207/~ -Al203 /Sr;i~4.
~:
In all metalhetical dimerizations of cycloalkenes to cyeloall<adienes, despite optimum conditions higher cyclo-all<apolyenes having a polymeriza~ion degree of greater than or equal to three are formed. In the dimerization o~ cyclooctene to cyclo hexadecadiene, these amount to, for example, between 50 and 70%
by weight (relalive to the amount of cyclooctene used) of higher cyclopolyoctenylenes. A useful applicalion of these cyclopolyoc-tenylene mixtures is so ~ar not known.
"

Accordingly, it is an obJect o~ the present invention to 20 provide a novel process for the preparation of cycloalkadienes in liquid phase by a metathesis reaction in the presence of a carrier cataiyst based on Re20l /AI203.

The designation mole in the concentrations of the solutions refers in the context of the present invention to calculated 10 cyclooctene units, which are obtained by dividing the cyclopolyoc-tenylenes into the monomers, and, if cycloalkamonoene/cyclo-polyoctenylene mixtures are used, adding them to the cyclo-. alkamonoene which were added.

If cyclopolywtenylene/cycloalkamonoene mixtures are used, a cycloaikamonoene content of 1 to 90% by weight (relative to the total weight of the mixture), in pa~icular of 1 to 50% by weight is preferred.

The cycloalkamonoenes which are preferably used are 10 cyclopentene, cycloheptene, cyclooctene, cyclodecene and cyclo-dodecene. Cyclooctene or cycloheptene are most preferred.

In particular, those carrier catalysts are used which have ~ -Al203 as the carrier or support material. The specific surface area of the carrier material is preferably 100 to 300 m2/g according to BET.

Preferably, the reaction is carried out in a fixed bed arrangement in which the dissolved cyclopolyoctenylene, optionally, in a mixture with cycloalkamonoene, flows through the catalyst bed as the liquid phase. The flow rate is set according to the invention to a value so that residence times of iO to 600 seconds, preferably 10 to 200 seconds, are maintained.

The reaction temperatures are preferably in the range from 0C to 100C. Preferably, the reaclion is carried out at pres-sures of 0.1 to 100 bar, most preferably, 1 to 10 bar. If carried out under superatmospheric pressure, the reaction temperature can certainly be increased.

By way oF exarnple, the process is carried out by having a solution of cyclopolyoctenylenes, and possîbly cyclo-alkamonoenes, ~low through a vertically arranged tube reactor which is filled with the catalyst. The reaction mixture which leaves the 20 reactor is transferred to a distillation apparatus and is separated into its components. The target product is obtained as a relatively high-boiling fraction. In practice, a continuous operation is maintained in most cases, in which the solvent, which is the low-boiling compo-nent, and any unconverted cycloalkamonoenes present are circu-lated and, afler being charged with new starting material, recycled into the reactor.
