Description

EXPERIMENTAL DESCRIPTION

[0028] A vial was charged with PtX.sub.2 (X=halogen), ligand, and an oven-dried stirrer bar. The vial is then sealed with a septum (PTFE-coated styrene-butadiene rubber) and phenolic resin cap. The vial is evacuated and refilled with argon three times. Toluene and 1-octene were added to the vial using a syringe. The vial was placed in an alloy plate, which was transferred to an autoclave of the 4560 series from Parr Instruments under an argon atmosphere. After purging the autoclave three times with CO/H.sub.2, the synthesis gas pressure was increased to 40 bar at room temperature. The reaction was conducted at 80° C. for 18 h. On termination of the reaction, the autoclave was cooled to room temperature and cautiously decompressed. Yield and selectivity were determined by GC analysis.
