Abstract
Abstract Chloromethyl methyl ether-stannic chloride treatments of toluene, ethylbenzene, isopropylbenzene and tert -butyl benzene afforded respectively, 26.5, 16.8, 5.5 and 2.5% ortho -products. No meta -products could be detected (less than 0.5%). Similar chloroalkylation of linear polystyrenes followed by conversion of the chloromethyl groups to hydroxylmethyl, yielded products possessing 5.0 ± .3% ortho -substitution.
