The catalytic Friedel-Crafts acylation reaction and the catalytic Beckmann rearrangement promoted by a Gallium(III) or an antimony(V) cationic species

Article abstract of DOI:10.1055/s-1991-28422

The catalytic Friedel-Crafts acylation reaction and the catalytic Beckmann rearrangement are successfully carried out by using the active cationic species dichlorogallium(III) perchlorate and tetrachloroantimonium(V) hexafluoroantimonate(V), respectively, which were generated in situ from appropriate silver, gallium(III) or antimony(V) salts.
