Abstract

Phenyldimethylcarbinol and its o-, m-and p-monoalkyl (methyl, ethyl, isopropyl and t-butyl) derivatives were synthesized. With one exception, these carbinols were converted readily to the corresponding tertiary chlorides by treatment with hydrogen chloride. The failure of ot- butylphenyldimethylcarbinol to yield the expected tertiary chloride is attributed to the large strains to be expected in this molecule, a homomorph of the unknown o-di-t-butylbenzene. ...
