Abstract

A composition comprising olefin oligomers of one or more olefin monomers, the olefin monomers comprising a branched C 10 olefin monomer comprising i) 3-propyl-1-heptene, ii) 4-ethyl-1-octene, iii) 5-methyl-1-nonene, or iv) any combination thereof. A composition comprising substantially hydrogenated olefin oligomers, wherein the olefin oligomers are oligomers of one or more olefin monomers, the olefin monomers comprising a branched C 10 olefin monomer comprising i) 3-propyl-1-heptene, ii) 4-ethyl-1-octene, iii) 5-methyl-1-nonene, or iv) any combination thereof. A process comprising a) contacting 1) a catalyst system and 2) a monomer feedstock comprising a branched C 10 olefin monomer comprising i) 3-propyl-1-heptene, ii) 4-ethyl-1-octene, iii) 5-methyl-1-nonene, or iv) any combination thereof in a reaction zone; and b) forming olefin oligomers.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A composition comprising olefin oligomers of one or more olefin monomers, the olefin monomers comprising branched C 10 olefin monomers comprising i) 3-propyl-1-heptene, ii) 4-ethyl-1-octene, and iii) 5-methyl-1-nonene; wherein the branched C 10 olefin monomers have a molar ratio of 5-methyl-1-nonene to 3-propyl-1-heptene of at least 1.6:1 and/or a molar ratio of 5-methyl-1-nonene to 4-ethyl-1-octene of at least 1.6:1.

2. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the branched C 10 olefin monomers comprises i) at least 10 mol % 3-propyl-1-heptene, ii) at least 7 mol % 4-ethyl-1-octene, iii) at least 24 mol % 5-methyl-1-nonene, and iv) at least 3 mol % 2-butyl-1-hexene.

3. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the olefin monomers further comprise 1) a linear internal C 10 olefin monomer selected from 4-decene, 5-decene, or any combination thereof and/or 2) linear internal C 14 olefin monomers, branched C 14 olefin monomers, or any combination thereof.

4. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the olefin monomers further comprise less than or equal to 75 mol % of at least one C 6 to C 18 normal alpha olefin monomer.

5. The composition of claim 4 , wherein the C 6 to C 18 normal alpha olefin monomer comprises 1-octene, 1-decene, 1-dodecene, or any combination thereof.

6. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the olefin monomers comprise 1) at least 80 mol % branched C 10 olefin monomers, the branched C 10 olefin monomers comprising i) from 10 mol % to 32 mol % 3-propyl-1-heptene, ii) from 7 mol % to 25 mol % 4-ethyl-1-octene, iii) from 24 mol % to 52 mol % 5-methyl-1-nonene, and iv) from 3 mol % to 20 mol % 2-butyl-1-hexene; and 2) less than 10 mole % C 6 to C 18 normal alpha olefin monomer.

7. A composition comprising substantially hydrogenated olefin oligomers, wherein the olefin oligomers are oligomers of one or more olefin monomers, the olefin monomers comprising branched C 10 olefin monomers comprising i) 3-propyl-1-heptene, ii) 4-ethyl-1-octene, and iii) 5-methyl-1-nonene; wherein the branched C 10 olefin monomers have a molar ratio of 5-methyl-1-nonene to 3-propyl-1-heptene of at least 1.6:1 and/or a molar ratio of 5-methyl-1-nonene to 4-ethyl-1-octene of at least 1.6:1.

8. The composition of claim 7 , wherein the branched C 10 olefin monomers comprises i) at least 10 mol % 3-propyl-1-heptene, ii) at least 7 mol % 4-ethyl-1-octene, iii) at least 24 mol % 5-methyl-1-nonene, and iv) at least 3 mol % 2-butyl-1-hexene.

9. The composition of claim 7 , wherein the olefin monomers further comprise 1) a linear internal C 10 olefin monomer selected from 4-decene, 5-decene, or any combination thereof and/or 2) linear internal C 14 olefin monomers, branched C 14 olefin monomers, or any combination thereof.

10. The composition of claim 7 , wherein the olefin monomers further comprise less than or equal to 75 mol % of at least one C 6 to C 18 normal alpha olefin monomer.

11. The composition of claim 10 , wherein the C 6 to C 18 normal alpha olefin monomer comprises 1-octene, 1-decene, 1-dodecene, or any combination thereof.

12. The composition of claim 7 , wherein the olefin monomers comprise 1) at least 80 mol % branched C 10 olefin monomers, the branched C 10 olefin monomers comprising i) from 10 mol % to 32 mol % 3-propyl-1-heptene, ii) from 7 mol % to 25 mol % 4-ethyl-1-octene, iii) from 24 mol % to 52 mol % 5-methyl-1-nonene, and iv) from 3 mol % to 20 mol % 2-butyl-1-hexene; and 2) less than 10 mol % normal alpha olefin monomer.
