LOW MOLECULAR WEIGHT TERT.-ALCOHOLS

摘要

Process for the telomerization of olefins with secondary alcohols comprising admixing a secondary alcohol telogen with a mono-olefinically unsaturated hydrocarbon taxogen in catalytically effective amounts of a free radical generating initiator in a reaction zone, the telogen to taxogen molar ratio in the reaction zone being greater than about 1:1 as measured on the effluent stream from the reactio zone, at a temperature ranging from about 125.degree.C. to about 275.degree.C. and that a pressure varying from about 2000 psi to about 10,000 psi.
