Abstract
ZnCl2, NiCl2 and CuCl2 supported on hydroxyapatite (HAP), as a new solid su pport, catalyse the Friedel-Crafts alkylation of benzene, toluene and p-xyl ene by benzyl chloride. The reaction proceeds selectively to monoalkyl-comp ounds and in a short reaction time. The best catalytic activities were obse rved with the zinc catalysts. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V.
