Studies on isopropylation of naphthalene over zeolites

Mathew I, Mayadevi S, Sabne S, Pardhy SA, Sivasanker S

Isopropylation of naphthalene with isopropanol has been carried out over H-mordenite (with different Si/Al ratios), H-beta, H-Y, H-MCM-22 and H-ZSM-5 in the absence of an organic solvent. Higher conversions are obtained when the reaction is carried out in the absence of an organic solvent.
