PROCESS FOR PRODUCING 2- AND 3-PHENYLALKANES USING CATALYST BASED ON PARTICULAR MORDENITY

摘要

A process for producing a mixture of 2-phenylalkanes and 3-phenylalkanes in which benzene is reacted with a feedstock containing at least one linear olefin having from 9 to 16 carbon atoms in its molecule in contact with a mordenite-based catalyst having a global Si / Al atomic ratio of between 6 and 100, preferably between 15 and 60, said mordenite having been prepared from a mordenite synthesized in a fluoride medium. BR/ Use of the mixture of 2- and 3-phenylalkanes obtained as a base for biodegradable detergents. / P
