Process for Producing Phenylalkanes of Desired 2-Phenyl Content

摘要

The alkylation of aromatic compound with acyclic mono-olefin is effected under alkylation conditions including the presence of solid catalyst to provide a phenylalkane product having a consistent, desired 2-phenyl content. At least a portion of the aromatic compound and mono-olefin is contacted with a catalyst comprising FAU molecular sieve and at least a portion of the aromatic compound and mono-olefin is contacted with a catalyst comprising UZM-8 catalyst.
