The invention relates to a process for producing at least one compound selected from 2-, 3-, 4-, 5-, 6-phenylalkanes by alkylation of benzene using at least one olefin comprising at least 9 carbon atoms. carbon per molecule, in the presence of a catalyst comprising at least one zeolite with structure type EUO, at least partly in acid form, at least one matrix, said zeolite comprising silicon and at least one element T chosen from the group formed by aluminum, iron, gallium and boron, (preferably aluminum and boron), with an atomic Si / T ratio greater than 5; said process being carried out at a temperature between 30 and 400 degreC, a pressure between 0.1 and 10 MPa, an hourly space velocity of 0.50 to 200 h-1, and a benzene / olefin molar ratio of between 1: 1 and 50: 1. |
