10,11‐Dioctyleicosane, a star‐shaped hydrocarbon, has been successfully synthesized from 9‐octadecene (a product from metathesis of methyl oleate or ethyl oleate) through dimerization followed by hydrogenation. The product was determined by 13 C nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopic and gas chromatography/mass spectrometric techniques. This hydrocarbon likely exhibits lubricating properties that can be used as high‐performance functional fluids in automotive lubrication. We also report the presence of a novel product, a trimer that was formed during the synthesis.
