Olefin oligomers suitable as lubricants are prepared with a catalyst comprising boron trifluoride and a mixture of an alcohol, a polyol and a ketone. 1-Decene is oligomerized to a liquid product having a high trimer to tetramer ratio using boron trifluoride and a mixture of n-butanol, ethylene glycol and methylethyl ketone.

Olefin oligomerization using boron trifluoride and a three-component

An alpha-olefin is oligomerized in the presence of a three-component catalyst comprising a particulate solid adsorbent, boron trifluoride and elemental oxygen. The process also activates the catalyst. For example, 1-decene is oligomerized to a product predominating in the trimer and tetramer using boron trifluoride, elemental oxygen and silica as the solid adsorbent.

Method of oligomerizing 1-olefins and regenerating a heterogeneous

Olefin oligomers suitable as lubricants are prepared with a catalyst comprising boron trifluoride and a mixture of an alcohol, and a polyol. 1-Decene is oligomerized to a liquid product having an improved trimer to tetramer ratio using boron trifluoride and a mixture of n-butanol, and ethylene glycol.
