The invention is for a process for producing propylene and hexene (along with ethylene, pentenes, product butenes, heptenes and octenes) by metathesis from butenes (iso-, 1- and cis and trans 2-) and pentenes and then aromatizing the hexenes (along with higher olefins, such as heptenes and octenes) to benzene (along with toluene, xylenes, ethylbenzene and styrene). Since the desired products of the metathesis reaction are propylene and hexene, the feed to the metathesis reaction has a molar ratio for 1-butene:2-butene which favors production of propylene and 3-hexene with the concentration of hexenes and higher olefins in the metathesis product being up to 30 mole %. An isomerization reactor may be used to obtain the desired molar ratio of 1-butene:2-butene for the feed composition into the metathesis reactor.

Linear 1-butene dimers and other linear alpha-olefin dimers are manufactured in high yield and with high selectivity by coupling of alpha-olefins. The coupling is accomplished by contacting alpha olefins with an iron-based catalyst activated with an aluminum-based co-catalyst. The catalyst is structured to preclude formation of multiple dimer products, and the byproducts of the olefin coupling consist almost exclusively of methyl branched olefin dimers. The dimers have potentially diverse use in areas stretching form pharmaceuticals to plastics. Linear 1-butene dimers may be particularly useful in the production of plasticizer alcohols which may in turn be used to manufacture high quality plastics with reduced leaching.
