Unusual results in the liquid phase alkylation of naphthalene with isopropyl alcohol over zeolite H-beta

Abstract

Unexpected compounds are formed with high selectivity in the liquid phase alkylation of naphthalene with isopropyl alcohol over large pore zeolite H-beta; these have been confirmed to be cyclized products from naphthalene derivatives.
