Procedure

In a 300 ml autoclave equipped with a magnetic stirrer, Solid Base A-1 (2.53 g) and toluene (79.4 g) were charged under nitrogen and then liquid propylene (70 ml) was injected under pressure. The reaction was carried out at 164° C. for 6 hours while stirring at 1,000 rpm to produce isobutylbenzene (hereinafter referred to as "IBB").
