Abstract
Acylbenzenes of the formula ##STR1## can be prepared by reaction of benzene with carboxylic acids of the formula EQU HOOC--R.sup.1 (II) where R.sup.1 has the meaning given in the text, using a molar ratio of benzene:carboxylic acid=1-50:1 at a temperature of 200.degree.-400.degree. C., a zeolite of the Pentasil type having an SiO.sub.2 /M.sup.2 O.sub.2 ratio of 15-500:1 being used as acid catalyst; in the latter formula, M.sup.2 is one element or more from the group comprising Al, B, Ga, In, Fe, Cr, V, As and Sb.
