Abstract

An investigation of the reactions of poly-t-butylbenzenes would be valuable from a theoretical viewpoint, particularly since the polyisopropylbenzenes have now been studiedel'Apart from tbutylbenzene itself, only lI4-di-t-butylbenzene is known, although Senkowski2 prepared a solid, mp 1 2 9 O, which he described as a tri-t-butylbenzene. The alkylation of benzene with isobutene, catalyzed either by aluminum chloride3 or by ...
