Abstract
Abstract A water-white, essentially odorless liquid useful as a dieletric oil and as a dye solvent, particularly for a carbonless paper 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 prepared by 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 of about 250 DEG F. to about 475 DEG F. in the presence of an aluminum chloride catalyst, distilling the reaction product under vacuum to remove unreacted biphenyl and distilling off the product mixture at a temperature between about 370 DEG F. and about 440 DEG F. at 30 mm Hg. pressure or the equivalent thereof.

Independent Claim
36 words
A water-white, essentially odorless liquid composition 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-secbutylbiphenyl.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
36 words
A water-white, essentially odorless liquid composition 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-secbutylbiphenyl.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
19 words
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
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 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 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
