Abstract

The results obtained from alkylation reactions on benzene with two series of primary chloro- containing dichloroalkanes are interpreted on the basis of a long-range effect of the reference primary chloro group on the reaction of the second chloro group. Benzene was alkylated with 1, Xdichlorooctane (Le., a mixture of the 1, 1 through 1, s isomers) using a boron trifluoride-hydrogen fluoride catalyst (a system specific for alkylation of secondary ...
