| 摘要 |
A catalyst composition is disclosed that is useful for the dimerization of a normal 1-alkene containing 3-8 carbons. A supported alkali metal is employed as a catalyst and is combined with about 10-100 mol %, based on the amount of alkali metal catalyst, of an oxide of sodium, potassium, rubidium, and/or cesium as a co-catalyst. In preferred embodiments of the invention, the alkali metal is potassium or a potassium or a potassium alloy, and the co-catalyst is sodium oxide.
