Abstract
Relatively long chain alkyl aromatic compounds are prepared by alkylating an alkylatable aromatic compound with a relatively long chain alkylating agent under alkylation reaction conditions in the presence of catalyst comprising zeolite MCM-49.
Claims24
A process for preparing long chain alkyl aromatic compounds which comprises contacting at least one alkylatable aromatic compound with at least one alkylating agent possessing an alkylating aliphatic group having at least six carbon atoms under alkylation reaction conditions and in the presence of an alkylation catalyst to provide an alkylated aromatic product possessing at least one alkyl group derived from said alkylating agent, said catalyst comprising synthetic porous crystalline MCM-49.
A process for alkylating an alkylatable polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbon which comprises contacting the alkylatable polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbon with an olefinic alkylating agent having at least about 6 carbon atoms under alkylation reaction conditions and in the presence of an alkylation catalyst comprising synthetic porous crystalline MCM-49.
