ABSTRACT:
A normal 1-alkene containing 3-8 carbons is dimerized in the presence of a supported alkali metal as a catalyst and about 10-100 mol %, based on the amount of alkali metal catalyst, of an oxide of sodium, potassium, rubidium, and/or cesium as a co-catalyst. In preferred embodiments of the invention, the alkene is propene, the alkali metal is potassium or a potassium alloy, and the co-catalyst is sodium oxide.
