Mechanistic insight into low-temperature alkylation of thiophene with styrene over zeolites MCM-22 and β
{{output}}
Friedel-Crafts alkylation reactions are generally accepted to proceed by an electrophilic aromatic substitution (SEAr) mechanism. Here, we observed that MCM-22 exhibited a high activity in the alkylation of thiophene with styrene at temperatures near ambient, ... ...
