ALLYLATION OR BENZYLATION OF AROMATIC COMPOUNDS

摘要

Aromatic compounds may be allylated or benzylated by treatment with an allylic halide or a benzylic halide in the presence of a copper halide catalyst to form allylated substituted aromatic compounds. The reaction is exemplified by the treatment of benzene with allyl chloride in the presence of copper chloride to form allylbenzene.
