| abstract |
This invention relates to a process for the synthesis of saturated and unsaturated halogenated hydrocarbons using iron-containing or cobalt-containing catalysts. The process of the invention can produce tetraalkyl decane, phenyl trialkyl decane, substituted phenyl trialkyl decane, and mixtures thereof, which can be used as lubricants and hydraulic fluids, and can be used for synthesizing saturated halogenated hydrocarbons and other organic compounds. An alkylalkenyl decane, a phenyl alkenyl decane, a substituted phenyl alkenyl decane, and a mixture thereof. |
