Arene- and alkanecarboxylic trifluoromethanesulfonic anhydrides 2 and 5 are highly effective acylation agents, which react without Friedel-Crafts catalysts even with deactivated aromatics to yield aryl ketones 3 and 6, respectively.Acylation of arenes with carbonyl chlorides 4 and catalytic amounts of perfluoroalkanesulfonic acid gives ketones 3 and 6, resp., in good yields.Under similar conditions other strong Broensted acids show a considerably smaller degree of catalytic effect.
