Cumene (isopropyl benzene) is made by ____________________?
Correct answer: A. Propylene alkylation of benzene
- A. Propylene alkylation of benzene
- B. Oxidation of naphthalene
- C. Polymerisation of a mixture of benzene & propylene
- D. None of these
Explanation
Cumene is produced by alkylating benzene with propylene, adding an isopropyl group to the benzene ring. Polymerisation would produce larger molecules rather than the desired aromatic alkyl compound.
