Self-metathesis of fatty acids is an attractive modern method to synthesize platform chemicals useful for a wide variety of industrial applications. Degraded moringa seeds rich in mono unsaturation (75%), which are no longer useful for edible purpose have been utilized for the development of platform chemicals employing self-metathesis using Grubbs’ second generation catalyst. Seeds were soxhlet extracted and the fatty acid methyl esters were subjected to self-metathesis using Grubbs’ second generation catalyst with 0.3 mM concentration at 40-45 °C for 36 h, which resulted in products namely, 9-Octadecene (15 %), 6-pentadecene (9.3%), 3‐dodecene (6.7%), Cyclodecacycltetradecene (14%), 8,11Eicosadienoic acid methyl ester (9.7%) and Cyclopropaneoctanoic acid methyl ester (5.1%). 9Octadecene, a lube range hydrocarbon and other platform chemicals with potential as synthetic intermediates have been developed. Hence, the discarded moringa seeds can form a potential alternative raw material for the generation of organic intermediates.
