Abstract
Merrifield-bound o-cresol undergoes electrophilic aromatic chlorination using SO 2Cl 2 leading to para/ ortho ratios in excess of 50, the highest such ratio reported for this chlorinating agent. Model studies suggest that this significant para/ ortho ratio results not just from steric effects but that considerable electronic influence can be detected.
