PROCESS FOR THE PRODUCTION OF AN ISOBUTYLBENZENE FROM AN ISOBUTENYLCYCLOHEXENE

摘要

An isobutylbenzene (IBB) is produced from an isobutenylcyclohexene (IBCH) by contacting at elevated temperature the IBCH in the presence of a molecular oxygen-containing gas with a catalyst comprising a supported transition metal in the form of the elemental metal and/or a compound thereof, for example palladium supported on alumina.
