Decyclalkoholgemische, daraus erhältliche Phthalsäureester und ihre Verwendung als Weichmacher

摘要

Mixtures of isomeric decyl alcohols are obtained by hydroformylating butadiene to give an aldehyde mixture, condensing the aldehyde mixture which has been separated from the reaction product with the formation of an aldol mixture, and separating off and hydrogenating the aldol mixture. When esterifying the mixture of isomeric decyl alcohols with phthalic acid, a mixture of isomeric decyl phthalates is obtained, and these can be used as plasticisers.
