Abstract

The synthesis of twenty-seven polyalkyltetralin hydrocarbons is described. Acyl and dinitro derivatives of these, which were checked for musk odor, are reported. Contrary to the literature, acetylation of 6-t-butyl-1, 1, 4, 4-tetramethyltetralin produces 6-acetyl-l, l, 4, 4- tetramethyltetralin. The arid-catalyzed reaction of p-cymene with 2, 3-dimethyl-2-butene, previously reported to yield 1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 5-heptamethylindan, is shown to produce 1, 1, 3 ...
