Abstract

A catalyst is disclosed which comprises a clay belonging to the family of smectites, containing multi-metal pillars, together with a process which uses such a catalyst for the alkylation of aromatic hydrocarbons by means of long chain linear olefins. The resulting alkyl-aromatic compounds are useful for preparing biodegradable synthetic detergents.
