Abstract
A process for the production of hydrocarbon lubricant basestock comprises contacting C.sub.2 to C.sub.20 alpha-olefin feedstock, or mixtures thereof, e.g., 1-decene, under heterogeneous oligomerization conditions with a catalyst comprising halides of a metal component anchored on an adsorbent inorganic oxide solid, e.g., silica, by an oxygen-metal bond to provide a reaction mixture containing said hydrocarbon lubricant basestock. The catalyst is prepared by contacting the inorganic oxide solid with organic metal halide of the formula RMXY wherein R is alkyl or aryl, M is aluminum, X is halogen and Y is selected from the group consisting of halogen, alkyl, alkenyl, aryl, alkoxy, and amido moieties.
