Pa. Ganeshpure et S. Satish, TRANSALKYLATION OF BENZENE WITH HEAVY ALKYLBENZENES, CONSISTING OF DIALKYLBENZENES AND DIPHENYLALKANES (C10-C-14 ALKYL CHAINS) CATALYZED BYNAFION-H, Indian Journal of Technology, 31(7), 1993, pp. 503-506
Transalkylation of benzene with heavy alkylbenzenes, consisting of dia
lkylbenzenes and diphenylalkanes (C-10-C-14 alkyl chains) to give mono
alkylbenzenes has been studied in liquid phase using Nafion-H as a cat
alyst. A model heavy alkylbenzene substrate, 1,4-di-(2-dodecyl)benzene
has been synthesised. Transalkylation of benzene with 1,4-di(2-dodecy
l)benzene has been studied in the presence of Nafion-H and anhydrous a
luminium chloride.
