Reaction Steps

Another way to obtain didecyl phthalic mixtures is described in European Patent Application 04 24 767. The esters are prepared by a multi-stage process by dimerization of butene mixtures, hydroformylation, and hydrogenation of the resulting octene mixture to a nonanol mixture, dehydration of the nonanol mixture to form a nonene mixture, followed by hydroformylation and hydrogenation of the nonene mixture to form a decanol mixture.
