It has been demonstrated that the dependence of the relative rates of reaction of benzyl chloride with toluene and benzene versus the concentration of catalyst, an AlCl/sub 3/ x CH/sub 3/NO/sub 2/ complex, can be explained quantitatively based on the assumption that the catalyst can exist in solution in two forms, monomeric and dimeric.
