Abstract
Reactions of 1-X-2-chloropropanes (X=CH3O–, HO– and CH3OCO–) with benzene catalyzed by AlCl3 have been studied. The former two secondary chlorides gave unusual products, n-propylbenzene and 1,1-diphenyl-1-propene, in addition to 1-X-2-phenylpropane, 1,1- and 1,2-diphenylpropanes, respectively, whereas the other one afforded only methyl 3-phenylbutanoate.
