Abstract

In a process for the cooligomerization of olefins, an olefin starting material comprising olefins having n carbon atoms and olefins having 2n carbon atoms is reacted over an olefin oligomerization catalyst to give a reaction product. The process is carried out under such conditions that the conversion of olefins having 2n carbon atoms is less than 10%. Both the cooligomer having 3n carbon atoms and the olefin having 2n carbon atoms which has been separated off from the reaction product have a high hydroformylatability.
