Cross-metathesis between ethane and toluene catalyzed by [([triple bond, length as m-(SiO)(2)TaH]: the first example of a cross-metathesis reaction between an alkane and an aromatic.
The silica-supported tantalum hydride [([triple bond, length as m-dash]SiO)(2)TaH] catalyzes at moderate temperature (150-250 degree C) the cross-metathesis reaction between toluene and ethane, to form mainly ethylbenzene and xylenes.
