The Friedel-Crafts acylation of 1-naphthol and phenol derivatives with carboxylic acids were investigated by using a catalytic amount of metal-triflate, in particular Yb(OTf)3, under solvent-free conditions. Both aliphatic and aromatic carboxylic acids reacted easily to afford the corresponding hydroxyaryl ketones.
