VERFAHREN ZUR OLIGOMERISATION HOEHERER OLEFINE

摘要

A selective catalyst for the oligomerization of olefins having at least 10 carbon atoms is provided by perfluorosulfonic acid resin. The oligomerized product is useful as a lubricant, preferably after hydrogenation. Suitable olefins for oligomerization include C10-C20 alpha -olefins, C10- C28 internal olefins, C10-C32 vinylidene olefins, C13C20 olefin mixtures obtained by dehydrogenation or pyrolysis of paraffins, and olefins obtained from the polymerization product of ethylene, optionally with disproportionation of ethylene polymers outside the desired molecular weight range for oligomerization.
