Abstract
Homologous series of C₁₅-C₄₀
1, 2-di-n-alkylbenzenes (with alkyl side chains containing 2 or
more carbon atoms) were identified in the Amposta crude oil (Tarragona Basin, Spain). Structural assignments
were confirmed by synthesis of the C₁₈ members of this series. These 1, 2-dialkylbenzenes in
combination with monoalkylbenzenes and 2-alkyltoluenes dominate the alkylbenzene distribution in
this "immature"
