Summary

  1. 1.

    The alkylation of toluene with alkyl halides was studied under conditions of brief contact at 0° in the presence of AlCl3.

  2. 2.

    The Chromatographic separation of isomeric dialkylbenzenes was studied on a capillary steel column with apiezon-L and polypropylene glycol.

  3. 3.

    The relative content of the o-isomer, formed in the process of replacement, is determined by steric factors.
