ACID CATALYST AND USE THEREOF IN ALKYLATION OF OLEFINS WITH TERTIARY ALKANES

摘要

The present invention provides a process for the conversion of a reactant into a reaction product in the presence of a novel acid catalyst complex comprising an organosulfonic acid having the formula [(R2O)2P(O)]yR(SOrR1)x wherein R is an organo radical having at least one covalent carbon-fluorine bond, R1 is hydrogen, R1 is a hydrocarbyl radical having up to 20 carbon atoms or hydrogen, r is 2 or 3, x is an integer from 1 to 3, y is an integer of from 1 to 3 with the proviso that the phosphorus and the sulfur are covalently bonded to a carbon atom and which organosulfonic acid has been contacted with a Lewis Acid to produce a catalyst complex containing said Lewis Acid. In the elected claims, a process for providing a high octane alkylate stream by converting a mixture comprising isoparaffins and olefins into said alkylate in the presence of said acid catalyst complex, is described.
