Reactions of 3,4-xylenol with acetic, propionic, butyric, valeric, phenylacetic, and benzoic acids catalyzed by boron trifluoride ether complex give hitherto unknown BF2-containing chelates, which are converted into the corresponding ketones when heated with aqueous ethanol.The chelates and ketones were characterized by spectral data.
