Abstract

Para-di-isopropylbenzene is prepared by propylating cumene with propylene in the presence of 0.2-1.5% by weight, based on the hydrocarbon reactants, of aluminium chloride at - 80 DEG to 150 DEG C. for a time of 0.1-10 hours, the reaction being stopped before equilibrium is reached. In a preferred embodiment benzene is reacted in a first stage with undesired polyisopropylbenzenes from the second stage and propylene if required, using as catalyst aluminium chloride (2-5% by weight of hydrocarbon reactants), hydrogen fluoride, boron trifluoride, sulphuric acid or phosphoric acid under conditions such that the mol. ratio of propylating agent to benzene groups is 0.7 to 1.5:1. After separation of the catalyst, the product, or cumene separated therefrom, is propylated as above, preferably with a propylene to cumene mol. ratio of 0.8-1.5 : 1, para-di-isopropylbenzene separated by distillation and other products recycled.
