45. The reaction with a secondary benzylic alcohol, 1-phenylethanol, as an alkylating agent gave styrene as a major product, and several unidentified products were also formed. See ref 10b.

48. 2a is suitable as a nucleophile for investigating the reactivity of the generated cation, since 2a is selectively alkylated at the 4 position on the naphthalene ring, and unalkylated 2a is recovered without decomposition and is easy to detect by UV absorption. The selective alkylation is due to the electron-withdrawing ester group; therefore, 2a is less nucleophilic than an electron-rich aromatic compound, such as anisole or furan (Chart 1).
