Abstract
Methods for making specialty chemical products and chemical intermediates using hydroformylation are generally disclosed. Further, compositions and compounds formed using such methods are also disclosed. In some embodiments, methods are disclosed for refining a renewably sourced material, such as a natural oil, to form compositions, which can be further reacted employing the methods disclosed herein to form certain specialty chemical products or chemical intermediates.
Claims7
A method for refining a natural oil derivative, comprising:
- providing a reactant composition comprising 3-dodecene, which is derived from a natural oil by a process comprising the reaction of a natural oil with 1-butene;
- and
- reacting the olefins with H2 and CO in the presence of a hydroformylation catalyst to form a product composition comprising alcohols.
