Selective Lightly Branched Alcohols Through Hydroformylation Of Isomerized Linear Olefin Feeds

This disclosure relates to a primary alcohol composition of linear and branched C11, C13, C15, C17, C19 or C21 primary alcohols, wherein at least 50% of the branched alcohol chains are mono-branched chains with a branch at the second carbon atom relative to the hydroxyl carbon. Branching is selectiv...

Zusammenfassung:This disclosure relates to a primary alcohol composition of linear and branched C11, C13, C15, C17, C19 or C21 primary alcohols, wherein at least 50% of the branched alcohol chains are mono-branched chains with a branch at the second carbon atom relative to the hydroxyl carbon. Branching is selective and has been found to be preferably at least 80% in the 2-carbon position (the beta carbon) of the alcohol. This disclosure also relates to a process using an isomerized linear alpha olefin (LAO) as a feed for hydroformylation to produce the lightly branched C11, C13, C15, C17, C19 or C21 primary alcohols.
