Abstract

A possible pathway by which benzene, aluminum chloride and I might react to give 2- phenylnaphthalene (11) was outlined very briefly in part I of this series. The details of the mechanism of this reaction have been discussed in preliminary fashion elsewhere, and an experimental investigation of the postulated conversion of 2-phenyl-3-methylindene (IV) to 11, together with a complete discussion of the mechanism will constitute part 111 of this ...
