4. Industrial production
Industrial processes vary according to the products required, due to the different behavior of reagents in a given environment.
The preparation processes are described in turn:
— ethylbenzene in the presence of AlCl 3 or zeolites (either gas-phase or liquid-phase process);
a process using boron trifluoride had some industrial applications in the 70s. It has been superseded by the above-mentioned processes and will therefore not be detailed.
—of cumene in the presence of phosphoric acid deposited on alumina;
—alkylates for detergents.
