Abstract
Processes for producing mono-methyl alkylbenzenes from natural oils are described. The processes includes a linear selective cracking process to crack C14+ chains into C9 to C14 chains which are useful for making linear alkylbenzene for use in detergents and a hydroisomerization step to produce paraffins with mono-methyl branching which can be reacted with benzene to form the mono-methyl alkyl benzenes.
