Abstract
Alkylations of benzene with dodecene and/or chloromethanes in the chloroalu minate room temperature ionic liquid modified with HCl as catalysts have be en investigated. Different product distributions and enhanced activity, wer e respectively observed for these two alkylation reactions. This may be att ributed to the superacidity of the ionic liquid induced by the presence of HCl. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
