Isobutylene → 1-tert-Butyl-4-(3-chloro-2-methylpropyl)benzene

Participants

Reaction Steps

20 parts by weight of isobutene are passed into a mixture of 68 parts by weight of 2-methyl-3-phenylpropyl chloride and 3 parts by weight of hydrogen fluoride at 0° C. The mixtuure is then stirred for 12 hours at room temperature. The crude product is washed with water, dried over Na2CO3 and distilled. 36 parts by weight of 2-methyl-3-phenylpropyl chloride, boiling point 105° C./16 mm Hg and 32 parts by weight of 2-methyl-3-(p-tert.-butylphenyl)-propyl chloride, boiling point 80°-81° C./0.02 mm Hg, are obtained.
