Abstract
Abstract An olefin oligomer having a low viscosity and a high viscosity index can be prepared by polymerizing an olefin having 6 or more carbon atoms in the presence of a mixture of a polyhydric alcohol derivative and an aluminum halide, said derivative being obtained by replacing the hydrogen atoms of all the hydroxyl groups of the polyhydric alcohol by either acyl groups exclusively or by acyl group and alkyl groups both of said groups having 1 - 20 carbon atoms. The thus prepared olefin oligomer scarcely contains halogen, and it has a wide range of uses such as, for instance, a lubricant, a cosmetic base, etc.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
150 words
A method of preparing an olefin oligomer, which comprises polymerizing at a temperaure of from 50° to 150°C, a monoolefin or a mixture of monoolefins having 6 or more carbon atoms, in the presence of a catalyst mixture of aluminum chloride and a polyhydric alcohol derivative selected from the group consisting of ethoxyethyl acetate, butoxypropyl acetate, ethoxyethoxyethyl acetate, methoxyethoxyethyl propionate, 4-methoxybutyl caproate, lauroxyethyl octanoate, ethylene glycol diacetate, ethylene glycol dicaproate, propylene glycol dipropionate, 1,3-diacetoxypropane, 1,4-diacetoxybutane, trans-1,4-diacetoxybutene, 1,5-diacetoxypentane, diethylene glycol diacetate, dibutylene glycol dipropionate, triethylene glycol didecanoate, and pentaerythritol tetracetate, the amount of said aluminum chloride being in the range of from 0.1 to 5 mole %, based on said olefin, and the molar ratio of said aluminum chloride to said derivative being from 0.8 to 1.0 mole of aluminum chloride per one ether bond or ester bond of said derivative, and recovering an olefin oligomer from the polymerization reaction mixture.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
150 words
A method of preparing an olefin oligomer, which comprises polymerizing at a temperaure of from 50° to 150°C, a monoolefin or a mixture of monoolefins having 6 or more carbon atoms, in the presence of a catalyst mixture of aluminum chloride and a polyhydric alcohol derivative selected from the group consisting of ethoxyethyl acetate, butoxypropyl acetate, ethoxyethoxyethyl acetate, methoxyethoxyethyl propionate, 4-methoxybutyl caproate, lauroxyethyl octanoate, ethylene glycol diacetate, ethylene glycol dicaproate, propylene glycol dipropionate, 1,3-diacetoxypropane, 1,4-diacetoxybutane, trans-1,4-diacetoxybutene, 1,5-diacetoxypentane, diethylene glycol diacetate, dibutylene glycol dipropionate, triethylene glycol didecanoate, and pentaerythritol tetracetate, the amount of said aluminum chloride being in the range of from 0.1 to 5 mole %, based on said olefin, and the molar ratio of said aluminum chloride to said derivative being from 0.8 to 1.0 mole of aluminum chloride per one ether bond or ester bond of said derivative, and recovering an olefin oligomer from the polymerization reaction mixture.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
