Abstract

End products were examined from six reactions between o-xylene and carbon-14 ring labeled toluene using an excess of aluminum chloride catalyst. The reactions were carried out at different temperatures and for periods of varying duration in order to observe the effects of temperature and heating time on the product mixtures.
