Synthetic lubricant base stocks.

摘要

Synthetic lubricant base stocks comprising reduced oligomers prepared from an olefin composition comprising a linear olefin having from 10 to 24 carbon atoms additionally contain an alkyl-substituted cyclohexanol or alkyl-substituted decahydronaphthalene, whose alkyl groups have 10 to 24 carbon atoms. These base stocks are prepared by contacting the olefin composition and phenol or naphthalene with an acidic montmorillonite clay and hydrogenating the resulting oligomer mixture.
