Participants

Reaction Steps

Using the same catalyst as that of Preparation Example 1, reaction was carried out with butene-1 and diphenylmethane to obtain sec-butyldiphenylmethane of 96 wt. % purity. The boiling point of the reaction product was 301° to 309° C. and the flash point thereof was 162° C. This reaction product is called as diarylalkane 2 (hereinafter referred to as "DAA2") and the physical properties thereof are shown in the following Table 1.
