Notes:
In the gas phase, π-complexes are common intermediates in unimolecular reactions of metastable protonated alkylbenzenes. The transient formation of two π-complexes generated from protonated dialikylbenzenes has been proposed in the Literature, even when the substitution degree of the two benzylic carbons is different. For metastable tert-C4H9—C6H5—R+ cations (R - n-C4H9, sec-C4H9, iso-C4H9), we demonstrate in this paper that the [tert-C4H9+, C6H5-R] π-complex is produced and does not interconvert into the [tert-C4H9—C6H5, R+] π-complex prior to fragmentation.
