Access to "friedel-Crafts-Restricted" tert -alkyl aromatics by activation/methylation of tertiary benzylic alcohols

Herein we describe a two-step protocol to prepare m-tert-alkylbenzenes. The appropriate tertiary benzylic alcohols are activated with SOCl2 or concentrated HCl and then treated with trimethylaluminum, affording the desired products in 68-97% yields (22 examples). This reaction sequence is successful in the presence of a variety of functional groups, including acid-sensitive and Lewis-basic groups. In addition to t-Bu groups, 1,1-dimethylpropyl and 1-ethyl-1-methylpropyl groups can also be installed using this method.

The Importance of Resonance Stabilization in the Benzylic Solvolysis. Substituent Effects on the Solvolysis of α,α-Diisopropylbenzyl Chlorides

The substituent effect on the solvolysis of α,α-diisopropylbenzyl chlorides can be described in terms of ?+ value.No significant steric loss of resonance was observed by introducing two bulky isopropyl groups into benzylic reaction center.
