- Selective synthetic routes to sterically hindered unsymmetrical diaryl ketones via arylstannanes
-
Bulky arylstannanes and bulky aroyl chlorides are good reaction partners for the synthesis of two-, three-, and even four-ortho-substituted benzophenones, in good to excellent isolated yields (47-91%). Three simple and direct routes, with differential advantages, are proposed: (i) a catalyst-free protocol, in o-dichlorobenzene (ODCB) at 180 °C; (ii) a room temperature protocol, using AlCl3 (0.5 equiv), in dichloromethane (DCM); and (iii) a solvent-free, indium-promoted procedure. A radical mechanism is proposed for the indium-mediated reactions.2011 American Chemical Society.

- Carboxylic Trifluoromethanesulfonic Anhydrides as Highly Effective Acylation Agents. - Perfluoroalkanesulfonic Acid Catalyzed Acylation of Arenes
-
Arene- and alkanecarboxylic trifluoromethanesulfonic anhydrides 2 and 5 are highly effective acylation agents, which react without Friedel-Crafts catalysts even with deactivated aromatics to yield aryl ketones 3 and 6, respectively.Acylation of arenes with carbonyl chlorides 4 and catalytic amounts of perfluoroalkanesulfonic acid gives ketones 3 and 6, resp., in good yields.Under similar conditions other strong Broensted acids show a considerably smaller degree of catalytic effect.
