PRODCUTION OF ALPHA-OLEFIN OLIGOMER

摘要

PURPOSE:To provide a new process for the production of an alpha-olefin oligomer capable of producing an arbitrary alpha-olefin oligomer having a carbon number of >=7 from ethylene in high yield. CONSTITUTION:An alpha-olefin oligomer is produced by using a chromium-based catalyst. Ethylene and an alpha-olefin having a carbon number of (n) ((n) is integer of >=3) are oligomerized in the presence of a chromium-based catalyst consisting of a combination of at least a chromium compound, an amine or a metal amide and an alkylaluminum compound to obtain an alpha-olefin oligomer having a carbon number of n+4.
