Abstract

The alkylation of aniline withn-propyl alcohol over ZSM-5 and Y zeolites has been studied. Ce-exchanged Y zeolites proved to be the most active for the alkylation of aniline byn-propyl alcohol. The reaction of N-propylaniline over zeolites has been investigated. N-alkylaniline decomposed over zeolites to aniline and alkene, which in turn rearrange to C-alkylanilines.n-Propyl derivatives were formed through an SN2 type mechanism, while isopropyl derivatives were formed by an SN1 type mechanism.
