Abstract
Abstract A method for preparing C 3 -C 4 olefins and vinylaromatic compounds, viz. styrene, vinyltoluenes or vinylxylenes which comprises alkylation of toluene or methyl derivatives thereof with a C 2 -C 3 olefin into the methyl group. The resulting alkylaromatic compounds are subjected to conversion to the desired products in the presence of ethylene on a catalyst consisting of chromium oxide, tungsten oxide and an oxide of an alkali or alkali-earth metal supported by a carrier. The method according to the present invention makes it possible to increase the yield of vinylaromatic compounds, obtain individual isomers of vinyltoluene or vinylxylene and efficiently utilize the part of the alkyl radical of the alkylaromatic compound lost in the prior art method.
