Procedure

In a 300 ml autoclave equipped with a magnetic stirrer, Solid Base A (2.81 g) and toluene (80 g) were charged under nitrogen and then liquid propylene (70 ml) was injected under pressure. The reaction was carried out at 160° C. for 6 hours while stirring to produce isobutylbenzene (hereinafter referred to as "IBB").
