Ethylene → tert-Amylbenzene

Participants

Reaction Steps

Particular preference is given to the reaction of toluene with ethene or propene to give propylbenzene or isobutylbenzene, the reaction of cumene with ethene to give tert-amylbenzene and the reaction of xylenes with butadiene to give 5-tolylpentenes, and the reaction of p-xylene with 1-butene or 2-butene to give 1-tolyl-2-methylbutane.
