THE INVENTION RELATES TO A PROCESS FOR PREPARING 1-OCTENE BY REACTING 1.3BUTADIENE WITH A TELOGEN OF THE FORMULA H-X-Y-H. WHERE X IS O. N, S OR P AND Y IS C, N OR SI AND X AND Y BEAR, DEPENDING ON THEIR VALENCE, FURTHER SUBSTITUENTS, IN THE PRESENCE OF A TELOMERIZATION CATALYST TO FORM A TELOMER OF THE FORMULA H2C=CH-CH2-CH2-CH2-CH=CH-CH2X- Y-H, PARTIALLY HYDROGENATING THE TELOMER TO FORM A 1-SUBSTRTUTED 2-OETENE OF THE FORMULA H3C-CH2-CH2-CH2-CH2-CH=CH-CH2 -X-Y-H AND DISSOCIATING THE 1SUBSTITUTED 2-OCTENE TO GIVE 1-OCTENE. |
