N2 - Acid-catalyzed hydrocarbon conversion reactions, including alkylation and cracking were studied to determine the role of the acid sites in competing processes. In the alkylation of toluene with 1-octene over a zeolite USY, the reaction yielded mono- and di-alkylated products with high conversion. The major product was a mono-substituted octyl-toluene. Recycling of the catalyst showed that coking, and ultimately deactivation occurred. In considering other framework materials, metal organic framework structures showed much potential for catalysis since their high surface area was coupled with a relative ease of control of structure and acidity. This is an abstract of a paper presented at the 22nd Annual Saudi-Japan Symposium on Catalysts in Petroleum Refining and Petrochemicals 2012 (Dhahran, Saudi Arabia 11/25-26/2012).
