Abstract
Abstract The title reaction in excess anisole gave a mixture composed of 3-(methoxyphenyl)-2,3-dimethyl-1-butanols (2) (a mixture of ortho and para isomers), 2-p-methoxyphenyl)-2-methybutane (3), and oligomer of 2-t-butyloxirane, while the same reaction in nitromethane gave a product composed of 2 (only the para isomer) and hexylanisoles, but not 3. The reaction sequences to give the products are discussed in terms of step-by-step and concerted alkylation mechanisms.
