Abstract
Process for the conversion of aromatic hydrocarbons. Especially useful for reaction of an alkylating agent, preferably propylene, with an aromatic hydrocarbon. Novel feature is use of a catalyst system comprising TiF.sub.4 and a metal oxide which possesses surface hydroxyl groups.
Claims12
A process for the alkylation of an aromatic hydrocarbon comprising contacting the aromatic hydrocarbon with an alkylating agent at aromatic hydrocarbon alkylation conditions in the presence of a catalyst consisting essentially of titanium tetrafluoride composited with a support which contains surface hydroxyl groups, and recovering an alkylated aromatic hydrocarbon as a product of the process.
