Detergent grade olefins, alkylbenzenes and alkylbenzene sulfonates and processes for preparing

摘要

A two-step dimerization process for producing semi-linear C12 olefins using homogeneous dimerization catalysts and new C12 olefins mixtures. The C12 product is especially useful for the production of biodegradable sulfonated alkylaryl detergents and intermediates therefor.
