| 摘要 |
Aromatic compounds, such as benzene or biphenyl, are alkylated with an alkylating agent, such as propylene, in the presence of an acidic mordenite zeolite catalyst under conditions sufficient to produce a mixture of substituted polycyclic aromatic compounds enriched in the para alkylated isomers, such as p-diisopropyl-benzene or p,p min -di(isopropyl)biphenyl, respectively. The novel acidic mordenite catalyst is characterized by its silica/alumina molar ratio, its porosity, and Symmetry Index. The p,p min -disubstituted isomers of aromatic compounds are useful as monomers in the preparation of thermotropic, liquid crystal polymers. |
