PREPARATION OF LINEAR ALKYL AROMATICS

摘要

Essentially linear alkyl aromatics wherein the alkyl is attached to the aromatic ring at the beta -position are produced by the process wherein a linear hydrocarbon selected from the group consisting of linear alpha -olefins, linear alpha -substituted alkyl halides or linear alpha -substituted alkyl alcohol or mixtures of such olefins, halides or alcohols are reacted with an aromatic compound in the presence of an aprotic-polar cosolvent.
