The reactions of esters and amides of 3-phenylpropynoic acid with strong Lewis acids AlX3 (X = Cl, Br) or conjugate Br?nsted-Lewis superacids HX-AlX3 (X = Cl, Br) in benzene and cyclohexane at room temperature afforded 3,3-diphenylpropanoic acid derivatives in up to 94% yield. This tandem reaction of the acetylene bond proceeded by hydrophenylation followed by ionic hydrogenation.
