Farnesene-Derived Polyolefin Base Oils
Published in Leslie R. Rudnick, Synthetics, Mineral Oils, and Bio-Based Lubricants, 2020
Jeff Brown, Hyeok Hahn, Lynn Rice, Paula Vettel, Jason Wells
Finally, the fully hydrogenated crude base oil is fractionated into several viscosity grades of base oil having a narrow boiling point distribution [34]. The monomers and dimers are separated using a vacuum distillation column, and the heavier oligomers (average expected boiling point [AEBP] up to 525°C) are recovered using short-path distillation. The process steps and plant for producing farnesene-derived base oils (FDBOs) are shown schematically in Figure 26.6 [34].

Finally, the fully hydrogenated crude base oil is fractionated into several viscosity grades of base oil having a narrow boiling point distribution [39]. The monomers and dimers are separated using a vacuum distillation column; and the higher oligomers (average expected boiling point: up to 525°C) are recovered using short-path distillation. The process steps and plant for producing FDBOs is schematically shown in Figure 1.6 [39].

Essentially pesticide-free citrus oil can be obtained by mild distillation of raw citrus oil in one or more short-path distillation columns, from which the essentially pesticide-free citrus oil is collected as the distillant; all the pesticides from the feed material are collected in the residue stream from the last column in the series (Muraldihara, 1996).

2,3-difluoro-4-iodo-4ʹ-hexylbiphenyl: 2,3-difluoro-4ʹhexylbiphenyl (120 g; 0.44 mol) and 300 ml of dry tetrahydrofurane (THF) were placed in four-neck 2L reaction flask (mechanical stirring, 2x dropping funnels, nitrogen inlet) which was flushed with dry nitrogen. Mixture was cooled to −70°C on dry-ice acetone bath, and the hexane solution of n-BuLi (200 ml; 2.5 mol/L; 0.49 mol) was dropped with a speed to not exceed −65°C, during the alkyllithium reagent addition proper mechanical stirring was assured. After the addition of n-BuLi, the reaction mixture was stirred for 2 h then THF solution of iodine (125 g, 0.49 mol in 200 ml of THF) was added dropwise, maintaining temperature below −60°C. After the iodine addition, cooling bath was removed and the reaction mixture slowly reached to RT. The excess of unreacted iodine was reduced using Na2SO3 solution. Then THF was removed using rotary evaporator and 10% HCl was added to neutralise the mixture. Product was extracted three times to a mixture of hexane–cyclohexane–toluene (300 + 150 + 50 ml), and washed three times with water. The organic layer was separated, dried over MgSO4 and solvent removed on the rotary evaporator. Crude product, containing usually few percent of unreacted starting compound, was used without further purification. If higher purity is necessary short path distillation can be applied. Authors have found that impurities arising in this step are separated during first crystallisation of the final products purification and do not deteriorate the yield of the final cross-coupling.
