The mechanism of alkylation of arenes can be best understood as a carbocationic electrophilic aromatic substitution — a review on this aspect is available. The alkylating agent and the catalyst first form an alkyl cation or related polarized complex, which then reacts with the aromatic ring via a Wheland intermediate (arenium ion Scheme 1). [Pg.298]

See other pages where Wheland intermediate arene alkylation is mentioned: [Pg.294] [Pg.604] [Pg.137]
