Wasteless technology for mesitylene production by catalytic isomerization of pseudocumene. Sulimov, A.; Zhochovskaya, T.; Bychkova, D.; Loshchenkova, I. (Minneftechimprom, Moscow, USSR). Ropa Uhlie, 26(11), 654-61 (Slovak) 1984. CODEN: ROUHAY. ISSN: 0035-8231. DOCUMENT TYPE: Journal CA Section: 45 (Industrial Organic Chemicals, Leather, Fats, and Waxes) Section cross-reference(s): 25, 51 A technol. process is described for manuf. of pseudocumene [95-63-6] from arom. C8-9 hydrocarbon fraction (b.p. 122-144°) and its isomerization to mesitylene [108-67-8] over aluminosilicate catalysts in the refining plant in Novopolotsk (USSR). The side products (durene, PhMe, pentamethylbenzene) are useful raw materials in petrochem. industry. The optimum technol. conditions are evaluated.

Alkylation of alkylbenzenes with styrene

Alkylation of alkylbenzenes with styrene. Muganlinskii, F. F.; Kakhramanov, V. B.; Mamed-Zade, V. T.; Abdullaev, F. Z.; Guseinova, S. N. (Azerb.Except for chemicals metioned above, 100-42-5 is also used. Inst. Neft. Khim., Baku, USSR). Azerb. Khim. Zh., (4), 26-30 (Russian) 1983. CODEN: AZKZAU. ISSN: 0005-2531. DOCUMENT TYPE: Journal CA Section: 51 (Fossil Fuels, Derivatives, and Related Products) To prep. dielec. fluids, C1-4 alkylbenzenes were alkylated with styrene [100-42-5] in the presence of Al2Cl3-CH3NO2 complex or Gustawson complex (3 aryl.HCL.Al2Cl6) which was the more active. At 20°, the alkylation of o-xylene [95-47-6] yielded 99.1% 1,1-phenyl-xylylethane. The physicochem. and electrophys. properties of 1-phenyl-1-arylethanes produced by the alkylation of benzene [71-43-2], MePh [108-88-3], EtPh [100-41-4], cumene [98-82-8], t-BuPh [98-06-6], xylenes, mesitylene [108-67-8], and pseudocumene [95-63-6] are given. .
