Shape-selective alkylation of isopropylnaphthalene on MCM-22 zeolite

Abstract

An MCM-22 zeolite with an Si/Al ratio 13 was found to exhibit higher selectivity to β,β-diisopropylnaphthalene in the alkylation of isopropylnaphthalene with isopropylalcohol, as compared with other zeolites such as mordenite, Y and beta having similar Si/Al ratios. This high selectivity is ascribed to the specific pore shape of MCM-22 zeolite. The gradual increase in the selectivity with reaction time is due to its pore modification by coke deposit.
