Primary aliphatic alcohols of controlled chain length, i.e. the alcohols, the chain length of which is predetermined by appropriate selection of reaction conditions and procedures in the steps of the process are prepared by a method comprising (a) polymerizing ethylene to produce 1-olefines, (b) fractionating the 1-olefines thus formed to recover at least one 1-olefin fraction of predetermined chain length, (c) reacting the' recovered 1-olefine fraction of predetermined chain length with aluminum and hydrogen to form aluminum trialkyls; if desired, (d) subjecting at least a portion of the aluminum trialkyls to growth with ethylene; (e) oxidizing the aluminum trialkyls from step (c) and, when carried out, step (d); and (f) hydrolysing the oxidized product to form primary aliphatic alcohols of controlled chain length.
