Abstract

The alkylation of benzene by alcohols in the presence of boron fluoride has been reported by McKenna and Sowa'to yield, in addition to monoalkylated benzene derivatives, disubstituted products in which the second alkyl group entered the ring para to the one already present. Since this orientation differed from that usually reported for Friedel-Crafts alkylation, the present investigation was undertaken to determine whether a difference in ...
