Hi everybody
I was wondering what the best way was to form a double bond between a
benzylic carbon ( a carbon attatched to the benzene ring) and a carbon of
the benzene ring, like having a methyl group attatched to a benzene ring?
What about if you have something like a cyclopentane or cyclobutane
attatched, how would you form a double bond between one of the carbons of
these groups and a carbon of the benzene ring? Thanks
