Abstract
An ester product consisting essentially of the acylation product of a mixture of near linear aliphatic 1-alkanols, said alkanols containing six to twenty carbon atoms and having a methyl to methylene branch ratio less than 0.25. These novel esters can be further converted to valuable 1-alkenes by pyrrolysis. In the preferred embodiments, esters are derived by acylation of C.sub.9 -C12 1-alkanols having a methyl to methylene branch ratio less than 0.18. In the preferred method of synthesizing the esters, acylation is carried out using aliphatic carboxylic acid, anhydride, halide or ester as acylating agent, wherein the agent has 2 to 20 carbon atoms. For instance, the acylating agent may comprise acetic anhydride and to produce acetate esters.
