Linear alpha olefins are separated from 2-branched alpha olefins and/or 3-branched alpha olefins. A feedstock of linear alpha olefins, branched alpha olefins, and internal olefins is converted to a linear alpha olefin composition having a lower concentration of branched alpha olefins than present in the feedstock by a) contacting the feedstock with anthracene under conditions effective to form a reaction mixture comprising an anthracene-linear alpha olefin adduct; b) separating the anthracene-linear alpha olefin adduct from the reaction mixture; c) disassociating the anthracene-linear alpha olefin adduct to form anthracene and a linear alpha olefin composition, and d) separating the anthracene formed in step c) from a linear alpha olefin composition. |
