Abstract

Abstract Trimethyl-and methylethylbiphenyls with the alkyl groups in the both phenyl rings have been prepared by the Gomberg reaction and identified by the capillary gas-liquid chromatography. Depending on choice of the aromatic hydrocarbon either individual isomers or their mixtures (three at the most) have been obtained which were contaminated with compounds of diarylmethane type in many cases. The methylethylbiphenyls have ...
