Abstract
Deactivated arenes (di- and tri-halobenzenes, acetophenone, benzopheno ne and methylbenzoate) have been shown to be alkylated by alkanes and cycloalkanes (propane, n-butane, cyclopentane) in the presence of supe racid CBr4 . 2AlBr(3) in the range -40 to 0 degrees C; in some cases s elective and effective mono- or di-alkylation can be achieved.
