A process for the isolation of high-boiling monomers from distillation residue formed in the cyclodimerization and/or cyclotrimerization of 1,3-butadiene after target products of cyclooctadiene, vinylcyclohexene and/or cyclododecatriene have been separated off, comprising extracting the distillation residue with a nonpolar or slightly polar solvent, separating off insoluble oligomers and polymers that have at least partly crystallized by mechanical separation, removing the extractant, and isolating the high-boiling monomers. |
