Abstract

Alkylation of the aromatic nucleus, an important reaction in industry and synthetic organic chemistry, has traditionally been carried out by the well-known Friedel-Crafts reaction employing Lewis acid catalysts such as AlCl3 and BF3 or by using highly reactive organometallic reagents. Although protic acids such as anhydrous HF and concentrated H2SO4 have also been used in the alkylation of the aromatic nucleus, the notoriously ...
