Summary
-
1.
In the alkylation of tetralin with normal pyropyl, butyl, heptyl, nonyl, and decyl bromides in presence of aluminum at 23°, 65°, and 105° the corresponding propyl-, butyl-, heptyl-, nonyl-, and decyl-tetralins are formed in yields of 53–99%.
-
2.
Conditions were found under which the alkylation of tetralin proceeds without the isomerization of the substituents.
