Use of a composition comprising benzyltoluene and ditolylmethane as an electrical insulating oil.
摘要
<p>A method for producing an electrical insulating oil composition composed of benzyltoluene and ditolymethane. The composition is excellent in low-temperature characteristics and contains substantially no chlorine. The method comprises the steps of reacting monocyclic aromatic hydrocarbon with diarylmethane which has been prepared without using a chlorinated hydrocarbon as a starting material, at a temperature of -10 to 550 DEG C in the presence of a disperoportionation catalyst to prepare a reaction product containing benzyltoluene and ditolylmethane, and recovering benzyltoluene and ditolylmethane from said reaction product by distillation.</p>
