Alkylation by alkyl halides in nitromethane

RELATIVE RATES FOR THE REACTION OF PhCH2Cl WITH ArH, CATALYSED BY AlClj- 

Low substrate selectivity accompanying high positional selectivity was also found in isopropylation of a range of alkyl and halogenobenzenes by /-propyl bromide or propene in nitromethane, tetramethylene sulphone, sulphur dioxide, or carbon disulphide, as indicated by the relative rates in Table 86. The toluene benzene reactivity ratio was measured under a wide range of conditions, and varied with /-propyl bromide (at 25 °C) from 1.41 (aluminium chloride-sulphur
