The positional and structural izomerization equilibrium of branched pentylbenzenes

The equilibrium of the positional and structural isomerization of branched monopentylbenzenes, pentyltoluenes, and pentyl-o-xylenes was studied. It was found that the 1,2-dimethylpropyl substituted derivatives prevail over the 1,1-dimethylpropyl substituted isomers in the equilibrium mixture of all of the examined groups of compounds. The thermodynamic characteristics of the structural isomerization of pentylbenzenes were calculated from the experimental data.

CHLORINATION OF 4-tert-ALKYL-o-XYLENES

The chlorination of 4-tert-butyl-o-xylene and tert-amyl-o-xylene with chlorine and sulfuryl chloride leads to the formation of the products from substitution of the hydrogen atoms at positions 3, 5, and 6 and the tert-alkyl groups at position 4 of the benzene ring.
