The alkylations of aromatic compounds with trialkyl phosphites (1), dialkyl phosphites (2), and trialkyl phosphates (3) in the presence of aluminum chloride were studied involving several raction variables, such as time, ratio of reactants, nature of catalyst and solvent, and combinations thereof. Extensive disproportionation and isomerization were observed in the reaction with monosubstituted alkylbenzenes under heterogeneous reaction conditions obtained by the use of an excess of aromatic substrates. A combination of aluminum chloride—nitromethane complex and dichloromethane as solvent was used to eliminate these undesirable effects and to give homogeneous and practically non-isomerizing conditions. The scope of the reaction was studied with a number of aromatic substrates, and their relative reactivities were compared to that of benzene in competitive isopropylations with triisopropyl phosphite. The relative rates and isomer distributions showed low substrate and low positional selectivities and poor agreement with Brown’s selectivity relationship. The substrate selectivity was somewhat higher and the positional selectivities were somewhat lower than those obtained in competitive isopropylation reactions with other isopropylating agents. The selectivity factor, Sf, and partial rate factors were calculated. An electrophilic alkylation mechanism is proposed on the basis of (1) the relative rates of isopropylation, (2) the isomer distribution of dialkylated aromatics, and (3) the necessity of a strong Lewis acid in these reactions.

The diamagnetic susceptibilities of a number of compounds containing oxygen linked to nitrogen or phosphorus have been measured. The results are interpreted in terms of the apparent contribution of the oxygen atoms to the susceptibility in these and other series of compounds, and are compared with other evidence on the nature of the bonds to oxygen. The results support the usual formula of an amine oxide as R3N → O, but phosphine oxides behave as would be expected for R3P = O. Phosphorus oxyhalides have molar susceptibilities about 4.6 (in units of −10−6 e.m.u.) larger than the corresponding trihalides, a difference close to that for singly bound oxygen in ethers or alcohols. Each oxygen contributes 4.4 in trialkyl phosphites, as might be expected for P(OR)3; but the value in dialkyl phosphites is 4.9 per oxygen, thereby showing behavior similar to that of carboxylic esters. The extra oxygen in trialkyl phosphates as compared with trialkyl phosphites contributes 9.4, a surprisingly large amount.
