alpha olefin concentration in Hexadecene

[birkATO]

We use quite a lot of 1-Hexadecene. The material is about 94% 1-Hexadecene and 6% with the double bond in a position other than the alpha position. Does anyone know of an analytical test to determine the percent Hexadecene with the double bond in the alpha position?
