Abstract
The isopropylation of all three xylene isomers was carried out over ultrastable zeolite Y (USY) catalyst to give corresponding dimethyl (1-methylethyl) benzenes, or in other words dimethyl cumenes (DMCs), using isopropanol as alkylating agent. The effect of reaction temperature, space velocity, substrate-to-alkylating-agent molar ratio, and time-on-stream on conversion of xylene isomers and selectivity to dimethyl cumene was studied. ...
