Alkylation with Other Alkenes over H-Mordenite

3 Alkylation with Other Alkenes over H-Mordenite - The steric restriction of the transition state is essential for high selectivity in the isopropylation of biphenyl. The selectivity should be highly dependent on the size of the alkene. 

The alkenes higher than butenes gave the similar product patterns for alkylbiphenyls (4-ABP) and 4,4 -dialkylbiphenyls (4,4 -DABP) in the alkylation
