Abstract
The Friedel-Crafts arylmethylation of aromatics with benzyl halides or bis- (brumomethyl)-benzene ne in the presence of Envirocat EPZ10(R) affords sele ctively para-arylmethylated products in good yields. Isolation of purr prod ucts involving an eco-friendly procedure and recyclability of the catalyst are important Features of this method.
