A novel InCl3/SiO2-catalyzed hydroarylation of various styrenes with arenes has been developed. The reaction can be carried out under solvent-free conditions to afford a series of 1,1-diarylalkanes in high yields and with good regioselectivities. The catalyst can be reused six times without obvious loss of catalytic activity. Georg Thieme Verlag Stuttgart.

Naphthalene was selectively hydrogenated to tetralin, followed by reaction with styrene to give 1-phenyl-1-tetrahydronaphthylethane in 87% yield. Efficient catalysts for the reaction were 90% sulfuric acid or solid acids possessing acid sites of H//0 less than or equal to minus 5. 6. Purified 1-phenyl-1-tetrahydronaphthylethane has favored properties for a high boiling point thermal transfer fluid: boiling point, 342 C; pour point minus 37. 5 C; good thermal stability, etc. On severe heating, it decomposed to low fractions to some extent with little tendency to polymerization.
