Title:

PRODUCTION OF 2,6-DIETHYLNAPHTHALENE

Document Type and Number:

Japanese Patent JPH0585963

Kind Code:

A

Abstract:

PURPOSE: To produce 2,6-diethylnaphthalene on an industrial scale at a low cost in high yield by using mordenite as a catalyst and carrying out trans- ethylation using ethylnaphthalene as an ethylation agent as it is.

CONSTITUTION: 2,6-Diethylnaphthalene is produced by the transethylation of ethylnaphthalene (preferably 1- or 2-ethylnaphthalene) (preferably in liquid phase) using mordenite as a catalyst. The amount of mordenite is 0.001-500wt.% (preferably 0.05-200wt.%) based on ethylnaphthalene and the reaction temperature is 100-450°C (preferably 130-300°C).
