| Abstract | Reactivity of benzene and certain alkylbenzenes (toluene, p-xylene, mesitylene) during benzylation with benzylchloride and some derivatives (α-chloroethylbenzene, benzhydrylchloride, chloromethylmesitylene) has been determined under non-isomerizing conditions, in the temperature range -10° and -120°, in ethyl chloride solution with AlCl3 as a catalyst. Steric effects are found to play a major role in the reactivity when benzylchloride derivatives are used as benzylating agents. Isomer distribution in the benzylation of toluene has been investigated as a function of the temperature and of the benzylating agent. Experimental data are related to the results obtained in the low temperature polymerisation of benzylchloride and α-chloroethylbenzene. © 1971. |
