These catalysts were used to study the tert-butylation of benzene (Bz) and some substituted benzenes with tert-butyl chloride (TBC). The reaction was proposed to proceed initially through the radical mechanism and subsequently the tert-butyl cation was formed, which in turn attacks the benzene ...
Preliminary investigations into SN1 solvolysis reactions of this chloride with different alcohols revealed its potential for further functionalizations leading to differently substituted chiral pyrrolidines, yet showing a relative lability of the tert‐butylsulfinyl chiral auxiliary under the ...
