Abstract

Although Hustonl and co-workers have reported a 22% yield of 2, 2, 4-trirnethyl-4- phenylpentane (I) by alkylation of benzene with 2, 4, 4-trimethyl-2-pentanol in the presence of aluminum chloride, no one, as far as we know, has reported the synthesis of I from the corresponding olefin, diisobutene. In the alkylation of benzene with di-and triisobutene in the presence of sulfuric acid at Oo, the polymers were reported2 to undergo depolymerization ...
