Abstract

Polyphenylalkane derivatives Q 0720Unusual p-Toluene Sulfonic Acid-Catalyzed Carbon-Carbon Bond Formation.-An unusual C-C bond formation is reported for the reaction of amine (I) with o-cresol (II) in the presence of Tos-OH as catalyst for the first time. The structure of the unexpected product (III) (no yield given) is confirmed by X-ray analysis. -(GOVINDAN, S.; MADDIPATLA, M.; PODICHETTY, A. K.; MACHARLA, P.; NALIVELA, V.; SUNDARAM, V.; MATHAD, V.
