Abstract
Phenylpotassium was directly prepared from chlorobenzene and finely divided potassium, and was used to metalate toluene, o-, m- and p-xylenes, ethylbenzene and cumene. The relative acidities of these hydrocarbons were obtained from the equilibria between their potassium salts in presence of N-permethylated tertiary polyamines.
