2. Description of the Related Art ABS resin, AS resin, polystyrene,
Carbon tetrachloride and dodecyl mercaptans have been used as molecular weight regulators during the production of copolymers such as SBR. However, carbon tetrachloride was one of the ozone depleting substances at the 1992 Montreal International Conference.
It has been confirmed that it will be completely abolished by the end of 995, and it has been pointed out that dodecyl mercaptans are subject to odor pollution during handling and use, and their use has been restricted. Therefore, unsaturated dimers of α-methylstyrenes, particularly 1-pentenes, have come to be used as substitutes for these. However, a method for industrially producing 1-pentenes with high selectivity. Is not currently available.

Then, an alkali is added to the obtained upper layer reaction solution (oil layer) to adjust the pH to 8 or more, preferably 9 to 11, to carry out distillation purification, thereby purifying unsaturated dimer of α-methylstyrene having excellent storage stability. Things are obtained. When distillation is performed at a pH of less than 8, unsaturated dimers of α-methylstyrenes having poor storage stability can be obtained.

When a sulfonic acid compound is used as a catalyst, if the reaction solution is neutralized to pH 7 by washing with water, neutralizing, or the like,
During the distillation, the unsaturated dimer of α-methylstyrenes does not decompose or isomerize. However, when the distillation is performed at a pH lower than 8, the storage stability of the obtained purified product is poor. This is probably because a small amount of free sulfonic acid remained in the reaction solution even when the reaction solution became apparently neutral. In other words, a trace amount of free sulfonic acid does not cause decomposition or isomerization of the unsaturated dimer of α-methylstyrenes during distillation, but the effect appears as the storage period becomes longer and the storage stability deteriorates. It seems to cause. It is thought that the amount of free sulfonic acid in the reaction solution is reduced to an amount that does not affect the storage stability even when the reaction solution is adjusted to pH 8 or higher. However, it is not clear whether the direct cause of the deterioration of storage stability is that the free sulfonic acid remains in the purified product. That is, it is not clear whether the storage stability is deteriorated because free sulfonic acid remains even in the purified product after distillation.
