<p>The invention provides an oxygenated compound composition obtained by oxygenating the dimerisation reaction products of a Fischer-Tropsch dimerisation process, which oxygenated compound composition has on average between 0.9 and 3 branches per molecule. The dimerisation process is carried out in the presence of a metallocene/aluminoxane catalyst. Typically the oxygenated compound composition includes at least some branched alcohol and/or aldehyde selected from the group including monomethyl branched alcohol, dimethyl branched alcohol, trimethyl branched alcohol, monomethyl branched aldehyde, dimethyl branched aldehyde, and trimethyl branched aldehyde.</p> |
