Abstract

Calcined Mg, Ni, Cu, Co, and Zn hydrotalcites (CHTs) tested for their catalytic performance in the side chain ethylation of toluene with ethanol at 300, 350, 400, and 450°C. The major products were propylbenzene, β-methylstyrene, ortho-, para-, and meta-ethyltoluene. MgAl-CHTs gave side chain alkylated propylbenzene, while over Co, Ni, Cu, and Zn-CHTs, side chain as well as nuclear alkylated products and ethyltoluene were observed.
