Abstract

2,6-Diisopropylnaphthalene is selectively produced in the liquid phase alkylation of naphthalene with propene or propan-2-01 over H-mordenite catalyst. ... 2,6-Dialkylnaphthalenes are useful monomeric starting materials for the preparation of liquid crystal polymers. How- ever, it is difficult to obtain 2,6-dialkylnaphthalenes selec- tively in the alkylation of naphthalene with conventional method such as Friedel-Crafts alkylation1.2 and gas phase reaction over silica/alumina ...
