Abstract

Formation and disproportionation of aryl derivatives V (ad)-VIII (ad) was investigated in the title reaction of bromomethyl derivatives I-IV with the aromatic substrates benzene, mesitylene, methoxybenzene and 1, 3, 5-trimcthoxybenzene. The role of perchloric acid (generated in course of the reaction) was elucidated in the two opposing processes by employing calcium carbonate as the acid scavenger. In most cases, suppression of the ...
