6 Alkylation of Benzene by Propylene to Cumene

174 6 Alkylation of Benzene by Propylene to Cumene Beside isopropyl benzene (IPB) a substantial amount of polyalkylates is formed by consecutive reactions, mostly as C6H5 - (C3H7) 2 (DIPB) with some C6H5 - (C3H7) 3 (TPB). The main reaction has a large exothermal effect, of − 113 kJ/mol
