Abstract

A selective formation of 6-ter-butyl-2-methoxy naphthalene is reported for the first time in the liquid phase alkylation of 2-methoxy naphthalene with ter-butanol over large pore zeolites (max. of 90% selectivity over HMOR at 65% conversion). Over H-Y which has been shown to be the most efficient catalyst in such a recation in terms of activity, the main secondary reactions are the dialkylation, leading to the bulky di ter butyl 2 methoxy naphthalene ervatives, and the demethylation of methoxy group giving mono and di ter butyl derivative of the naphthol.
