Process for production of motor fuel and phthalate esters or acyclic alcohols

摘要

A process for the simultaneous production of gasoline blending components and a phthalate ester useful as a plasticizer. C3 to C4 olefins are reacted in an oligomerization zone to form a mixture containing C6 to C10 olefinic hydrocarbons. A three carbon number boiling range intermediate fraction is recovered from this mixture. The less highly branched olefins in this intermediate fraction are selectively hydroformylated to yield alcohols which are then reacted with an aromatic carboxylic acid or an aromatic anhydride. The unhydroformylated olefins are combined with the other olefinic hydrocarbon fractions to form a high octane motor fuel.
