Abstract
A process for producing isomerized olefins, branched aldehydes, branched alcohols, branched surfactants and other branched derivatives through isomerization, hydroformylation, hydrogenation, surfactant forming reactions and other derivative forming reactions.
Claims25
A composition, comprising:
- a mixture of C8-C36 alcohols,
- wherein less than 60% of the mixture of C8-C36 alcohols are linear alcohols,
- wherein greater than 25% of the mixture of C8-C36 alcohols are 2-methyl branched alcohols,
- wherein and greater than 8% of the mixture of C8-C36 alcohols are 2-ethyl branched alcohols.
1 more element
A composition, comprising:
- a mixture of C8-C36 aldehydes,
- wherein less than 60% of the mixture of C8-C36 aldehydes are linear aldehydes,
- wherein greater than 25% of the mixture of C8-C36 aldehydes are 2-methyl branched aldehydes, and
- wherein greater than 8% of the mixture of C8-C36 aldehydes are 2-ethyl branched aldehydes.
1 more element
A process, comprising the steps of:
- providing a first catalyst comprising an organometallic complex, said organometallic complex comprising at least one of a rhodium and a cobalt and at least one of an organophosphorus ligand;
- providing one or more of a C4-C36 linear alpha olefin;
- providing a gas phase comprising CO;
- isomerizing said linear alpha olefin by said first catalyst in the presence of the CO at a first pressure to produce an isomerized olefin;
- and
- hydroformylating said isomerized olefin by said first catalyst in the presence of CO and H2 at a second pressure different from said first pressure producing a branched aldehyde.
3 more elements
The process according to 15, wherein said organophosphorous ligand is a phosphite ligand which is tris (2, 4-di-t-butylphenyl) phosphite.
The process according to 15, further comprising:
- a first organophosphorous ligand which is triphenylphosphine;
- and
- a second organophosphorous ligand which is tris (2, 4-di-t-butylphenyl) phosphite.
