A novel catalytic method for the alkylation of benzene to diphenylmethane over H-ZSM-5 zeolite catalysts
Vapour-phase catalytic alkylation of benzene to diphenylmethane in high selectivity (92.5%) at 30.7 wt% conversion of benzene is reported for the first time using dichloromethane (DCM) as an alkylating agent and H-ZSM-5 as the catalyst.
