PROCESS FOR PRODUCING ALKYLATED AROMATIC COMPOUNDS AND PROCESS FOR PRODUCING PHENOLS

摘要

According to a process of the invention, a ketone, anaromatic compound and hydrogen as starting materials are reacted together in a single reaction step to produce an alkylaromatic compound in high yield. A process for producing phenols in the invention includesastep of performing the above alkylation process and does not increase the number of stepscompared to the conventional cumene process.The process for producing alkylated aromatic compounds includes reacting an aromatic compound such as benzene, a ketone such as acetone and hydrogen in the presence of a solid acid substance, preferably a zeolite, and a silver-containingcatalyst.
