| abstract |
The invention relates to a method for producing 1-octen by reacting 1.3 butadiene in the presence of a telomerisation catalyst with telogen of general formula H-X-Y-H, wherein X represents O, N, S or P and Y represents C, N or Si and X and Y include other substituents according to weight, to form a telomer of general formula H2C=CH-CH2-CH2-CH2-CH=CH-CH2-X-Y-H, partial hydrogenation of the telomer to form a 1 substituted 2-octen of formula H3C-CH2-CH2-CH2-CH2-CH=CH-CH2-X-Y-H and cleaving of the 1 substitute 2-octens to form the 1-octen. |
