| abstract |
The invention relates to the production of olefins or olefin mixtures comprising 8 to 12 carbon atoms by means of a four-stage synthesis from one or several olefins containing 4 to 6 carbon atoms. Said four-stage synthesis encompasses the steps of hydroformylation to obtain aldehyde, hydrogenation to obtain alcohol, dehydration to obtain 1-olefin, and metathesis. The obtained C8 to C12 olefins can be used for the production of plasticizer alcohols, for example, particularly isononanol. |
