Abstract

Summary. The Friedel-Crafts arylmethylation of aromatics with benzyl halides or bis- (bromomethyl)-benzene in the presence of Envirocat EPZ10® affords selectively para- arylmethylated products in good yields. Isolation of pure products involving an eco-friendly procedure and recyclability of the catalyst are important features of this method.
