Abstract
In the sodium-and potassium-catalyzed alkenylation of alkylarenes with isoprene, the mode of addition seems to be determined by the relative stabilities of the resultant carbanions and also the" size effect" of alkali metal ions in the transition state. The ratios of monoadducts resulting from" head addition" and" tail addition" are 2.77, 1.88, and 1.98 for toluene, ethylbenzene, and isopropylbenzene, respectively, in the presence of sodium; and 3.04, ...
