Title:
CATALYTIC PROCESSES FOR PREPARING ESTOLIDE BASE OILS
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2018087194
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide processes for preparing estolides and estolide base oils from fatty acid reactants utilizing catalysts, and processes for preparing carboxylic esters from at least one catalytic reactant and at least one olefin.SOLUTION: A process of preparing an estolide composition comprises: exposing one or more unsaturated fatty acid reactants to an oligomerization catalyst to provide a composition comprising a first estolide base oil and at least a portion of the one or more fatty acid reactants; removing the at least a portion of the one or more fatty acid reactants from the composition; oligomerizing the at least a portion of the one or more fatty acid reactants to provide a second estolide base oil; esterifying the first estolide base oil to provide an esterified estolide base oil; and separating the estolide base oil into two estolide base oil fractions by distillation.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
