Ethylene is oligomerized by contacting ethylene under oligomerization conditions with a nickel ylide defined by the following Formula I:
wherein R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, R6, R7 and R8 are either alike or different members selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, alkyl radicals having from about one to about 24 carbon atoms, preferably from about one to about 10 carbon atoms; aryl radicals having from about six to about 20 carbon atoms, preferably from about six to about 10 carbon atoms; alkenyl radicals having from about two to about 30 carbons atoms, preferably from about two to about 20 carbon atoms; cycloalkyl radicals having from about three to about 40 carbon atoms, preferably from about three to about 30 carbon atoms; aralkyl and alkaryl radicals having from about six to about 40 carbon atoms, preferably from about six to about 30 carbon atoms; a halogen radical selected from the group consisting of fluorine, chlorine, bromine and iodine, preferably chlorine; a hydroxyl group; an alkoxy or aryloxy group; and a hydrocarbyl group, such as defined above, carrying halogen, hydroxyl or alkoxy or aryloxy; provided that at least one, preferably from about one to about four, of each of R1, to R8 is a sulfonato group (-SO3-) or an alkyl, aryl, alkenyl, cycloalkyl, aralkyl or alkaryl group carrying a sulfonato group; M is sulfur or oxygen, preferably oxygen; E is phosphorus, arsenic, antimony or nitrogen, preferably phosphorus; and F is phosphorus, arsenic or antimony, preferably phosphorus. This process is characterized by a relatively high reaction rate at low temperatures and pressures and results in the production of relatively high proportions of desirable trimer, tetramer, pentamer, and higher olefinic products.
在低聚条件下,将乙烯与下式 I 所定义的镍酰亚胺接触,可使乙烯低聚:
其中 R1、R2、R3、R4、R5、R6、R7 和 R8 要么是相同的成员,要么是不同的成员,它们选自由氢、具有约 1 至约 24 个碳原子(最好是约 1 至约 10 个碳原子)的烷基、具有约 6 至约 20 个碳原子(最好是约 6 至约 10 个碳原子)的芳基组成的组;具有约 2 至约 30 个碳原子,最好是约 2 至约 20 个碳原子的烯基; 具有约 3 至约 40 个碳原子,最好是约 3 至约 30 个碳原子的环烷基; 具有约 6 至约 40 个碳原子,最好是约 6 至约 30 个碳原子的芳基和烷芳基;从氟、氯、溴和碘(最好是氯)组成的组中选出的卤素基;羟基;烷氧基或芳氧基;以及烃基,如上文所定义的,带有卤素、羟基或烷氧基或芳氧基的烃基;R1至R8中至少有一个,最好是约一个至约四个,是磺酸基(-SO3-)或带有磺酸基的烷基、芳基、烯基、环烷基、芳基或烷芳基;M是硫或氧,最好是氧;E是磷、砷、锑或氮,最好是磷;F是磷、砷或锑,最好是磷。该工艺的特点是在低温低压下反应速度相对较快,可生产出比例相对较高的理想三聚体、四聚体、五聚体和更高的烯烃产品。
