Hydroarylation of arenes with styrenes using Montmorillonite K-10 as an efficient, selective, and recyclable catalyst

Abstract

Hydroarylation of styrene and its derivatives with arenes and heteroarenes was studied using Montmorillonite K-10 as an efficient, environmentally benign, economical, greener, and recyclable catalyst. The reaction gives 1,1-diarylalkanes with a very high selectivity and excellent yields in short time with greater substrate compatibility.

The Use of Dual Catalysts to Obtain High Selectivity for di‐Styrenated Phenol in the Reaction between Styrene and Phenol

“…However, although many studies of the synthesis of styrenated phenol have been focused to the selective preparation of MSP, little research has been conducted to prepare obtain high selectivity for the formation of o,o ‐ DSP. In addition, although many efficient catalysts are reported, using two catalysts at a time has been very rarely reported…”
