HCID 184750611-Tolyl-2-methylbutane

Procedure

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.
