A new composite ionic liquid (IL) alkylation process has been proven in a pilot plant and retrofitted into an existing 65,000-tonne/year H 2 SO 4 alkylation unit in China. This article discusses ...

N-Containing organic compounds are of vital importance to lives. Practical and catalytic synthesis of valuable N-containing organic compounds directly from dinitrogen (N2), not through ammonia ...

To their delight, the new catalyst successfully facilitated the alkylation reaction for a wide variety of ketones with alcohols, reaching yields as high as 50–92%.

Crucially in the current study, the alkylation reaction immediately follows the cracking step in a single reaction vessel, near room temperature (70° C/158° F).
