Abstract

Friedel-Crafts alkylations of aromatic substrates with alkenes, alcohols, and alkyl halides are catalyzed by various clays, both natural and acid-activated. l However, many of these reactions require relatively high temperature and pressure and the products are often isomeric mixtures. The results have usually been published in patents such that some of the detailed experimental procedures are not readily a~ ailable.~,~ We are interested in the ...
