Rhenium complexes have been shown to catalyze the alkylation of arenes with alkyl halides. When arenes were reacted with an alkyl chloride in the presence of a catalytic amount of rhenium complexes, such as bromopentacarbonylrhenium(I) [ReBr(CO)5], tricarbonylcyclopentadienylrhenium(I) [Re(C5H5)(CO)3] and decacarbonyldirhenium [Re2(CO)10], alkylation of the arenes proceeded under mild conditions to give a mixture of mono- and dialkyl substituted arenes in moderate-to-good yields.
