An aromatic hydrocarbon is chloroethylated to a 1- chloro-1-arylethane with minimal co-formation of diaryl- alkane by-product by reacting it with hydrogen chloride and acetaldehyde at a temperature in the range of -10°C to -35°C in the presence of at least about 1.4 mols of hydro- gen sulfate per mol of the aromatic hydrocarbon and in the absence of more than about 15% by weight of water, based on the weight of the hydrogen sulfate. The process is of particular advantage in the chloroethylation of the less reactive aromatic hydrocarbons, such as isobutylbenzene and other monoalkylaromatic hydrocarbons, which have previously yielded an undesirable amount of diarylalkane when chloroethylated with acetaldehyde.
