Improvement of Selectivity in the Fries Rearrangement and Direct Acylation Reactions by Means of P2O5/SiO2 Under Microwave Irradiation in Solvent-Free Media

P2O5/SiO2 was found to be an efficient new reagent for the Fries rearrangement of acyloxy benzene or naphthalene derivatives and the direct acylation reactions of phenol and naphthol derivatives with carboxylic acids. The reactions proceeded smoothly in the solid state and are highly selective methods for the preparation of the ortho isomers of hydroxyaryl ketones. Microwave irradiation improved the conversion yield to 85-100 percent and the high ortho-regioselectivity of these reactions provides an efficient and versatile procedure for obtaining o-hydroxyaryl ketones in 47-98 percent yield.

A New and Efficient Esterification Reaction via Mixed Anhydrides by the Promotion of a Catalytic Amount of Lewis Acid

In the presence of a catalytic amount of Lewis acid, various carboxylic esters or S-phenyl carbothioates are prepared in excellent yields by the respective reactions of equimolar amounts of silyl carboxylates and alkyl silyl ethers or phenyl silyl sulfides with 4-trifluoromethylbenzoic anhydride.
