Popis: Benzylation of benzo[b]thiophene (1) with benzyl chloride catalyzed by metal-doped K-10 montmoril-lonite clays is described. Whereas ZnQ2 dissolved in either nitromethane or nitrobenzene solution promoted benzylation of (1) only very slowly and resulted in a mixture of mono- and poly-substituted products, ZnCl2-modified K-10 resulted in rapid benzylation at - 17°C giving the 3-benzyl isomer in 74% isolated yield. This constitutes one of the most selective alkylations of (1) yet reported.
