Unmodified graphite is introduced as a mild catalyst for alkylation of aromatic compounds and primary alcohols, applicable when utilization of strong Lewis acids is not feasible. The electrophilic intermediate has a significant carbocationic character and can be formed on a partially rate-limiting step.
