Abstract
Catalytic isomerization of allylbenzene to form trans-β-methylstyrene quantitatively occurs on the magnesium-anthracene cluster adduct under mild conditions. A low-stability organomagnesium compound, presumably of the cluster nature and active in catalytic allylbenzene isomerization, is formed by cocondensation of magnesium and allylbenzene vapors at the liquid nitrogen temperature. The products of low-temperature solid-phase reactions of magnesium with hydrocarbons containing aromatic rings exhibit high catalytic activity in the allyl isomerization of allylbenzene.
