Procedure

In a 300 ml autoclave equipped with a magnetic stirrer, Solid Base D (3.02 g) and toluene (80 g) were charged under nitrogen and then liquid propylene (70 ml) was charged under pressure. The mixture was reacted at 160° C. for 6 hours while stirring at 1000 rpm to obtain isobutylbenzene (hereinafter referred to as "IBB").
