The composition of claim 1 consisting essentially of about 85% of mono-sec-butyl biphenyl and about 15% of di-sec-butyl biphenyl.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim

A process for preparing a water-white, essentially odorless liquid product useful as a dielectric oil and as a dye solvent, consisting essentially of about 82% to about 88% by weight of mono-sec-butylbiphenyl and about 12% to about 18% of di-sec-butylbiphenyl which comprises reacting highly pure 1-butene or 2-butene with biphenyl at a mol ratio of butene to biphenyl of from about 0.5 to about 0.9 and at a temperature between about 250° and about 475° F. in the presence of an aluminum chloride catalyst, distilling the reaction product under vacuum to remove unreacted biphenyl and thereafter distilling off the liquid product mixture at a temperature between about 370° F. and about 440° F. at 300 mm Hg. pressure or the equivalent thereof.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
122 words
A process for preparing a water-white, essentially odorless liquid product useful as a dielectric oil and as a dye solvent, consisting essentially of about 82% to about 88% by weight of mono-sec-butylbiphenyl and about 12% to about 18% of di-sec-butylbiphenyl which comprises reacting highly pure 1-butene or 2-butene with biphenyl at a mol ratio of butene to biphenyl of from about 0.5 to about 0.9 and at a temperature between about 250° and about 475° F. in the presence of an aluminum chloride catalyst, distilling the reaction product under vacuum to remove unreacted biphenyl and thereafter distilling off the liquid product mixture at a temperature between about 370° F. and about 440° F. at 300 mm Hg. pressure or the equivalent thereof.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
38 words
The process of claim 3 wherein the ratio of butene to biphenyl is about 0.75 and the liquid product is distilled over a temperature range of from about 370° F. to about 437° F. at 30 mm Hg.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
20 words
The process of claim 4 wherein the catalyst used is a complex of AlCl 3 with toluene and methyl chloride.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
120 words
A process for preparing a water-white, essentially odorless liquid product useful as a dielectric oil and as a dye solvent, consisting essentially of about 85% by weight of mono-sec-butylbiphenyl and about 15% of de-secbutylbiphenyl prepared which comprises reacting highly pure 1-butene or 2-butene, or their admixture with biphenyl at a mol ratio of butene to biphenyl of from about 0.75 and at a temperature of about 250° F. in the presence of an aluminum chloride complex catalyst, distilling the reaction product under vacuum at a temperature between about 296° and 340° F. to remove unreacted biphenyl and thereafter distilling off the liquid product mixture at a temperature between about 370° and about 440° F. at about 30 mm Hg pressure.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
120 words
A process for preparing a water-white, essentially odorless liquid product useful as a dielectric oil and as a dye solvent, consisting essentially of about 85% by weight of mono-sec-butylbiphenyl and about 15% of de-secbutylbiphenyl prepared which comprises reacting highly pure 1-butene or 2-butene, or their admixture with biphenyl at a mol ratio of butene to biphenyl of from about 0.75 and at a temperature of about 250° F. in the presence of an aluminum chloride complex catalyst, distilling the reaction product under vacuum at a temperature between about 296° and 340° F. to remove unreacted biphenyl and thereafter distilling off the liquid product mixture at a temperature between about 370° and about 440° F. at about 30 mm Hg pressure.
