Abstract
A process for Friedel-Crafts type liquid-phase alkylation or acylation of an aromatic compound using a hydrotalcite-type basic anionic clay catalyst represented by a formula:[(M2−)1−x(M3+)x(OH)2]x+[Ay−]x/yqH2OwhereM2+ is a divalent cation selected from Mg2+, Zn2+, Ni2+, Co2+, Mn2+, Cu2+ or a mixture thereof;M3+ is a trivalent cation selected from Ga3+, In3+ Al3+, Fe3+ Cr3+ or a mixture thereof; x is a mole fraction of trivalent cations in the range of about 0.05 to about 0.5; 0 is oxygen; H is hydrogen; Ay− is an anion; y minus is an anionic negative charge having a value of 1 minus or 2 minus; and q is a number of water molecules, as the water of hydration; and involving following steps:i. pretreating said catalyst by contacting it with a halogen containing compound in the presence or absence of a non-aqueous solvent and optionally washing the pretreated catalyst with non-aqueous solvent or liquid aromatic compound to be alkylated or acylated; and thenii. contacting a liquid reaction mixture comprising said aromatic compound and said alkylating or acylating agent in the presence or absence of a non-aqueous solvent with the catalyst obtained from step (i) in…
