Abstract

The major alkylation products of benzene with 1, 2-dibromo-3-chloro-2-methylpropane are 1- X-2-methyl-3, 3-diphenylpropane (X= Cl, Br) with AlCl 3 and 1, 4-bis-(1-bromo-3-chloro-2- methylpropyl) benzene with AlCl 3–CH 3 NO 2 or K10 montmorillonite (K10 Clay); minor products include di-and tri-phenylated butanes and/or 2-methyl-1-phenylindane.
