Mechanistic Study of Propylbenzenes Transformations Over Zeolite Catalysts
Chapter
Abstract
It has been demonstrated that, in the presence of benzene, zeolite catalyzed isomerization of cumene to n-propylbenzene proceeds via bimolecular mechanism including 1,2-diphenylpropane as an intermediate [1, 2]. The aim of this study was to clarify the mechanisms of transalkylation and metathesis of cumene and n-propylbenzene in the presence of benzene and to determine the main factors controlling propylbenzenes rearrangements over molecular sieves with different geometry, acid sites density and strength.
