Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
76 words
A process for the dialkylation of benzene with isobutylene which comprises: (a) adding to said benzene and an alkylation catalyst about 10 to about 50 volume percent of the total amount of isobutylene to be used in the alkylation process; (b) heating the mixture produced in step (a) up to an alkylation reaction temperature; and (c) adding the remainder of the isobutylene to be used in the alkylation process to said heated mixture to produce ditertiary-butylbenzene.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
76 words
A process for the dialkylation of benzene with isobutylene which comprises: (a) adding to said benzene and an alkylation catalyst about 10 to about 50 volume percent of the total amount of isobutylene to be used in the alkylation process; (b) heating the mixture produced in step (a) up to an alkylation reaction temperature; and (c) adding the remainder of the isobutylene to be used in the alkylation process to said heated mixture to produce ditertiary-butylbenzene.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
40 words
A process in accordance with claim 1 wherein about 15 to about 35 volume percent of the total amount of isobutylene to be used in the alkylation process is added to said benzene and said alkylation catalyst in step (a).
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
21 words
A process in accordance with claim 1 wherein said alkylation reaction temperature is in the range of about 50° C.-250° C.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
21 words

Claim 7
Dependent Claim
14 words
A process in accordance with claim 4 wherein said alkylation catalyst is acid-treated montmorillonite.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
11 words
A process in accordance with claim 4 wherein 1,4-ditertiary-butylbenzene is produced.
