Summary.
The Friedel-Crafts arylmethylation of aromatics with benzyl halides or bis-(bromomethyl)-benzene in the presence of Envirocat EPZ10® affords selectively para-arylmethylated products in good yields. Isolation of pure products involving an eco-friendly procedure and recyclability of the catalyst are important features of this method.
