• Alkylation is often promoted through the use of heat or of an appropriate catalyst such as an acid catalyst.
• Wikipedia Alkylation STRATCO Contactor Reactor Sulfuric Acid Alkylation Alkylation is the transfer of an alkyl group from one molecule to another.
• Preference for C-alkylation is also observed when the oxygen atom is hydrogen-bonded or exits as an ion-pair, presumably as a result of lowered reactivity at the oxygen atom.
• These are the synthetic equivalents of respectively ethanoic acid anion and acetone anion, if alkylation is followed by hydrolysis and decarboxylation.
• This amine-catalyzed Friedel - Crafts alkylation is also general with respect to pyrrole architecture (Table 3).
