1. A process for the production of chemicals, wherein the process comprises the following: feeding a feedstock comprising hydrogen and carbon monoxide to a liquid fuel production reactor, wherein the liquid fuel production reactor comprises a catalyst, thereby producing a product, and wherein the liquid fuel production reactor is operated to increase 1-alkene production and oxygenated hydrocarbon yield, and wherein the product comprises a liquid phase and a solid phase, and wherein the liquid phase comprises C5-C23 hydrocarbons and oxygenated hydrocarbons, and wherein the liquid phase contains between 2 volume percent and 40 volume percent of C5-C16 normal 1-alkenes and between 1 volume percent and 8 volume percent of C3-C16 normal 1-alkoxy alkanes, and wherein the solid-phase comprises C24-C45 aliphatic hydrocarbons, and wherein the liquid phase is between 51 percent by volume and 99 percent by volume of the product.
