Abstract
Abstract A process for the preparation of dimerization products from aliphatic mono-olefins having 2 to about 12 carbon atoms in which the aliphatic mono-olefin is contacted with a catalytic system formed by combining a palladium and/or ruthenium compound and an acid with a pKa of less than 2, except hydrohalogenic acids in an aprotic organic solvent.
