Title:
PRODUCTION OF MONOCYCLOALKYL AROMATIC COMPOUNDS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2001053237
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
There is described a process for the transalkylation of a polycycloalkyl aromatic compound, particularly the transalkylation of dicyclohexylbenzene to produce monocyclohexylbenzene. The process comprises contacting the polycycloalkyl aromatic compound with benzene in the presence of a catalyst selected from the group consisting of an acidic solid comprising a Group IVB metal oxide modified with an oxyanion of a Group VIBA metal oxide, TEA-mordenite, zeolite beta and a porous crystalline material having an X-ray diffraction pattern including d-spacing maxima at 12.4+/-0.25, 6.9+/-0.15, 3.57+/-0.07 and 3.42+/-0.07 Angstrom. Preferably the catalyst is a WOx/ZrO2 material.
