| A process for the preparation of diarylalkanes, a class of aromatic compounds having proven industrial importance. The invention particularly relates to a catalytic process of preparing diarylalkanes in general and benzyltoluene, in particular, from the reaction of aromatic hydrocarbon and an alcohol in the presence of a selective combination of a transition metal compound as catalyst, and tin (IV) chloride as co-catalyst, without using high dilution condition and avoiding unusually stringent process parameters which would be industrially viable and with possible high yield of the desired product. The catalytic process for the preparation of diarylalkanes, in general, and dibenzyltoluene in particular can be advantageously be carried out with very low catalyst loading, high turnover number and which results in very high yield of the desired product. | |
