Reaction Steps
Isopropylbenzene could not be selectively alkylated with methanol to form isopropyltoluene. At 200° C. disproportionation of the isopropylbenzene was the predominate reaction. The product was 41% diisopropylbenzene, 24% benzene and 20% isopropyltoluene. Part of the benzene was alkylated as shown by the presence of 6% toluene.
