摘要 |
The present invention is a process for preparing a 4-alkylbenzaldehyde (para- alkylbenzaldehyde). An alkylbenzene, solvated in a solvent comprising at least one aliphatic solvent having in the range of 3 to 15 carbons, is reacted with carbon monoxide, in the presence of an aluminum halide and a hydrogen halide acid. Disproportionation is reduced and proportion of para-alkylbenzaldehyde is increased with respect to other methods. |
