Oligomerization of 3,5-dimethyl benzyl alcohol promoted by clay: experimental and theoretical study.

Molecules 15(11) , 8156-68, (2010)

Linear oligomerization of 3,5-dimethyl benzyl alcohol is induced by a montmorillonite clay (Tonsil Optimum Extra), producing 1,3,5,7-tetramethyl-9,10-dihydro-anthracene, which, by loss of protons results in the product 1,3,5,7-tetramethylanthracene. It was al...
