Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 13
Claim 1
Independent Claim
89 words
A process for alkylation of an alkylatable hydrocarbon which comprises contacting the same with an alkylating agent, employing a mole ratio of alkylatable hydrocarbon to alkylating agent between about 1:1 and about 10:1, at a temperature between about 0° and about 150° C, a pressure between about atmospheric and about 500 psig with a catalyst consisting essentially of graphite having intercalated in the lattice thereof between about 5 and about 50 weight percent of a Lewis acid fluoride selected from the group consisting of boron trifluoride and phoshorus pentafluoride.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
89 words
A process for alkylation of an alkylatable hydrocarbon which comprises contacting the same with an alkylating agent, employing a mole ratio of alkylatable hydrocarbon to alkylating agent between about 1:1 and about 10:1, at a temperature between about 0° and about 150° C, a pressure between about atmospheric and about 500 psig with a catalyst consisting essentially of graphite having intercalated in the lattice thereof between about 5 and about 50 weight percent of a Lewis acid fluoride selected from the group consisting of boron trifluoride and phoshorus pentafluoride.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
59 words
The process of claim 1 wherein said catalyst has additionally intercalated therein between about 0.5 and about 75 weight percent of a Bronsted acid selected from the group consisting of hydrofluoric acid, hydrochloric acid, fluorosulfuric acid, trifluoromethane-sulfonic acid and mixtures thereof, the molar ratio of Bronsted acid to Lewis acid fluoride being within the range of 0.1:1 to 50:1.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
