Abstract
Abstract A process for the alkylation of aromatic hydrocarbons with alkylating agents having from one to five, and preferably three to five, carbon atoms. The reactants are brought into contact, preferably in the liquid phase, in the presence of a crystalline zeolite catalyst characterized by a silica to alumina ratio of at least 12 and a constraint index within the approximate range of 1-12. The reaction is conducted at 100 DEG C. to 300 DEG C. and a pressure of from about 105 N/m2 to about 2x107 N/m2.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim
84 words
A process for the alkylation of aromatic hydrocarbon compounds comprising contacting the aromatic hydrocarbon with isobutylene in the presence of a crystalline zeolite alkylation catalyst, at a temperature of between about 100° C. and about 300° C., said zeolite alkylation catalyst comprising zeolite ZSM-12, said process being carried out under sufficient pressure to maintain the organic reactants in the liquid phase when brought into contact with said zeolite catalyst, said pressure being between about 10 5 N/m 2 and 2×10 7 N/m 2 .
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
