Monoalkylation of benzene with primary, secondary and tertiary alcohols took place in high yields when K10-montmorillonite was used as acidic catalyst. Unexpected formation of 1-phenylalkylbenzenes occurred, beside other isomers with primary alcohols. Monoalkylation with cholestanol and cholesterol was regiospecific and located at C-3. Clay-catalysed alkylbenzene formation may also be of geochemical interest.
