ABSTRACT:
A process for producing secondary alcohols from n-paraffins wherein a portion of the n-paraffin is converted to a borate ester along with oxygenated by-products and the borate ester is separated and hydrolyzed to a secondary alcohol. The mixtures of C.sub.6 to C.sub.30 n-paraffin and n-paraffin by-products are converted to substantially pure n-paraffin by catalytically hydrogenating the mixture at a temperature of from about 600.degree. to 750.degree. F. in the presence of a Group VIII metal on alumina catalyst where the catalyst contains from about 0.05 to 2.0 weight percent of an alkali metal oxide or alkaline earth metal oxide or thallous oxide. The catalyst can additionally contain a Group VIB or VIIB metal.
