We continue to seek intermediates for specialized applications. Which normal alpha olefin derivative offers the greatest versatility in manufacturing new compounds?
The addition of maleic anhydride to a normal alpha olefin generates an alkenyl succinic anhydride (ASA) that can be an entry point to several polar derivatives. Some ASAs are available commercially; alternatively, the addition is easily performed in a batch reactor and the ASA is separated from unreacted olefin by distillation. No solvent or catalyst is necessary and the technology can be practiced with our entire range of normal alpha olefins from 1-butene to C30+ normal alpha olefin wax.
