Abstract

The catalytic potential of nanoscopic MFx (M= Mg, Al; x= 2, 3) has been investigated using batch Friedel–Crafts alkylation of aromatic compounds, including benzene, ethylbenzene, trimethylhydroquinone (TMHQ), and menadiol (MDL), with isophytol and benzyl alcohol. The conversion of isophytol was 100% in the reactions with trimethylhydroquinone (TMHQ), menadiol (MDL) and benzene while the highest selectivity in alkylated compounds was ...
