The cyclodehydration of three selected arylalkanols, namely 1,3-diphenyl-3-pentanol (I), 1,1,4-triphenyl-2methyl-1-butanol (II) and 1,1,4-triphenyl-2-methyl-2-butanol (III) with Friedel-Crafts catalysts was investigated.A reasonable interpretation of the reaction products was suggested, steric hindrance was found to have major influence on the course of the reaction.
