ADAMANTYLAMINE/LONG CHAIN ALKYLAMINE CATALYSTS AND USE IN PARAFFIN-OLEFIN ALKYLATION PROCESS

摘要

A process and new surfactant/hydride transfer catalyst compositions are described for paraffinolefin alkylation under strong acid conditions in which a mixture of one or more adamantane derivatives and one or more surfactants are used to substantially improve the efficiency of reaction while significantly minimizing cracking side reactions.
