Scandium(III) triflate and triflic acid were both found to be efficient catalysts for the Friedel-Crafts alkylation of aromatic compounds using methanesulfonates derived from secondary alcohols as alkylating agents.

The reaction of o-, m-, and p-cresols with cyclohexene in the presence of the corresponding aluminum cresolates leads to mixtures of ethers and phenols, in which the ortho-alkylation products, formed with yields of 75-85percent, predominate.
