HIGH CATALYTIC ACTIVITY OF IRON OXIDE FOR BENZYLATION, t-BUTYLATION, AND ACETYLATION OF TOLUENE WITH BENZYL, t-BUTYL, AND ACETYL CHLORIDES

Article abstract of DOI:10.1246/cl.1980.1479

Iron oxides obtained by calcining at 300-500 deg C Fe(NO3)3 or iron hydroxides, precipitated by hydrolyzing FeCl3 and Fe(NO3)3 with ammonia, showed exceedingly high catalytic activities for the title reactions at room temperature.
