F. Ciminale et al., AMINIUM SALTS-INDUCED DIMERIZATION OF ALPHA-METHYLSTYRENE AND 1-ARYL-1-PHENYLETHYLENES - SOLVENT EFFECT, Tetrahedron, 52(44), 1996, pp. 13971-13980
The aminium salts-induced dimerization of cr-methylstyrene Ib gives ri
se, depending on the solvent employed, to high yields of 1,3,3-trimeth
yl-1-phenylindane 2b, or 2,4-diphenyl-4-methyl-1-pentene 6b. Several 1
-aryl-1-phenylethylenes 1a,c-e afford, instead, cyclodimers 2a,c-e, or
2,5-diaryl-2,5-diphenyltetrahydrofuranderivatives 3a,c-e. Copyright (
