Abstract

June20, 195s SIDE-CHAIN ETHYLATION OF AROMATIC HYDROCARBONS 3077 have been studied extensively and are well defined. Little has been reported, however, concerning the relative ease of replacement of benzylic hydrogens by an ethyl group. Pines, Vesely and Ipatieff 4a reported that p-cymene reacted selectively to yield pt-pentyltoluene rather than pnpropylcumene. It was also reported by these authors that apparently o- ...
