✦ Synopsis


The Friedel-Crafts alkylation reaction of various aromatic compounds with benzyl or allyl silyl ethers is effectively promoted under mild reaction conditions using Lewis acid catalysts. A mixture of the desired phenyltolylmethanes is obtained in 80% yield from toluene with benzyl dimethylsilyl or trimethylsilyl ether at 50°C in the presence of a catalytic amount of Cl 2 Si(OTf) 2 or Hf(OTf) 4 .
