METHOD FOR PRODUCING LINEAR alpha-OLEFIN

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for efficiently producing a high-purity linear α-olefin in a simple operation with improved catalytic activity and suppressed byproduct polymer formation. SOLUTION: This method for producing a linear α-olefin comprises oligomerization of ethylene in the presence of a Ziegler-Natta type catalyst; wherein the above catalyst is characterized by being prepared by incorporating an organometallic compound as the cocatalyst with 0.05-1 molar time, based on the organometallic compound, of a heterocompound with the electron density of the heteroatom determined by molecular orbital calculation being 5.8-6.5.
