In order to select the proper synthetic base oil for automoble engine oil, the lubricating properties of dialkylbenzenes were investigated. Dialkylbenzenes-rich products were prepared from the HF alkylation of linear dodecylbenzenes with ??-rich α-olefin in a bench scale unit. The product with dialkylbenzenes over 70 wt% showed good properties, especially in the low temperature fluidity.
