The 1-butene is added using a one-way check valve to prevent backflow into the 1-butene cylinder. After 4 hrs, the pressure is released and vented into the fume hood. After allowing the reactor to cool to room temperature, a 50 ml 1M tris-hydroxymethylphopshine (THMP) solution in isopropanol (IPA) (50 mol equiv.) is added, and the reactor is degassed with argon and heated to 60° C. for 18 hrs. The reactor is then again allowed to cool to room temperature. The crude reaction product is then washed with water and brine. The washed reaction product is them dried over sodium sulfate, filtered, and distilled to provide 1-decene, 3-dodecene, estolides having a C10 cap with a terminal double bond, and estolides having a C12 cap with an internal double bond.
