Abstract

And the magic number is … 4! A large amount of oligomer-free 1-octene (99.9¿%) was produced from ethylene by a catalytic system based on chromium during the formation of polyethylene wax [see GC–MS chromatogram; the other three significant peaks are methanol (quenching agent), ethyl acetate (needle-rinsing agent), and toluene (solvent)].
