Production of higher alpha-olefins, useful for copolymer production, includes telomerizing a conjugated diene with a nucleophile in the presence of a palladium carbene complex catalyst

摘要

Production of alpha -olefins with 8-16 carbon atoms by telomerizing a conjugated diene with a nucleophile in the presence of a palladium catalyst, hydrogenating the telomer and cleaving the product, comprises using a carbene complex catalyst as the palladium catalyst. An Independent claim is also included for polyolefins produced by copolymerizing olefins with alpha -olefins produced as above.
