A process of ortho-alkylating arylhydroxides, e.g., phenol, by passing a mixture of arylhydroxide, olefin and an inert hydrocarbon diluent in the liquid phase through a bed of activated alumina at an elevated temperature and pressure. Conversion and selectivity is improved over that obtained without the diluent.
将液相中的芳基氢氧化物、烯烃和惰性碳氢化合物稀释剂混合物在高温高压下通过活性氧化铝床层,对芳基氢氧化物(如
苯酚)进行正烷基化的工艺。与不使用稀释剂的情况相比,转化率和选择性都有所提高。
