28. During review, one of the referees pointed out that the distribution of n-propyl benzene vs i-propyl benzene corresponds to the thermodynamic equilibrium distribution. However, this appears to be coincidental. Preliminary experimental studies show that i-propyl benzene is not susceptible to isomerization, either to n-propyl benzene or other products, when heated to 200°C with the catalyst, 7, in liquid benzene (with or without ethylene). This shows that the reaction cannot be under thermodynamic control. Preliminary calculations also show that the product distribution from higher alkenes do not correspond to the thermodynamic distribution. For example, the equilibrium distribution of 2-methyl-propyl benzene vs tert-butyl benzene is calculated to 97: 3, whereas the distribution observed in ref 3 is reported as 82:18.
