Abstract
A novel reaction of the dialkylation of arylaldehydes is provided. The reac tion of substituted aromatic aldehyde with organozinc halides in the presen ce of catalytic amount of Ni(acac)(2) and a tertiary amine using a silylati ng agent to give 1-alkyl-1-arylalkanes in satisfactory yields.
