PROCESS FOR PRODUCING ALKYLATED AROMATIC COMPOUND

摘要

A process in which a ketone is directly reacted with an aromatic compound in a single reaction step to obtain the corresponding alkylated aromatic compound in a higher yield. An aromatic compound is reacted with a ketone and hydrogen in the presence of a catalyst composition comprising a solid acid substance, copper, and zinc, the proportion of the zinc to the copper being 0.70-1.60 (atomic ratio), to thereby produce the corresponding alkylated aromatic compound.
