The complex reaction mixtures of the nonconventional alkylation of benzene with cyclohexane in the presence of Lewis/proton acids and promotors were investigated by gas-liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry.Four representative groups of hydrocarbons were found including cycloalkylbenzenes, substituted indanes or tetralines (C12H16), C1-C6-alkylbenzenes and isomeric biscycloalkyls (C12H22).Their formation is interpreted as a competition between alkylation, (without or with isomerization), ringfission with cycloalkylation or fragmentation, and self-alkylation; phenylcycloalkylcations and phenylalkylcations are the intermediates.
