Abstract

The liquid-phase bromination of toluene catalysed by zeolites has been investigated. Different types of zeolites as well as several cation-exchanged Y-type zeolites have been used. The initial rates are increased in comparison to the uncatalysed or Lewis acid-catalysed reaction. With some zeolites, the para/ortho isomer ratio could be increased.
