Claims30
An improved process for the preparation of an aluminum alkyl chain growth product by the chain growth reaction of .alpha.-olefin on an aluminum alkyl, the improvement comprising catalyzing the chain growth reaction with a catalyst system which comprises an activated actinide metallocene.
In a process for the preparation of linear alpha-olefins by the chain growth reaction of .alpha.-olefin on an aluminum alkyl followed by olefin displacement of linear alpha-olefins from the aluminum alkyl chain growth product, the improvement comprising catalyzing the chain growth reaction with a catalyst system which comprises an activated actinide metallocene.
In a process for the preparation of linear primary alcohols by the chain growth reaction of .alpha.-olefin on an aluminum alkyl followed by oxidation of the aluminum alkyl chain growth product to form alkoxides and acid hydrolysis of the alkoxides to produce linear primary alcohols, the improvement comprising catalyzing the chain growth reaction with a catalyst system which comprises an activated actinide metallocene.
