Process for preparing alkenylbenzenes

摘要

In the process for preparing alkenylbenzene by the catalytic reaction of alkylbenzenes and 1,3-butadiene in the presence of an alkali metal catalyst, the improvement which comprises effecting the preliminary contact of the freshly fed alkylbenzene with the reaction product of said catalyst reaction and thereafter catalytically reacting said alkylbenzene with said 1,3-butadiene.
