ChemInform Abstract: Microwave‐Assisted Facile and Rapid Friedel—Crafts Benzoylation of Arenes Catalyzed by Bismuth Trifluoromethanesulfonate.

Abstract

The title reaction proceeds with a variety of electron-rich as well as electron-poor aromatic compounds to yield the corresponding benzoylated products in good yield. The catalyst can be recovered and reused up to five times without loss of its activity. -(TRAN, P. H.; HANSEN, P. E.; PHAM, T. T.; HUYNH, V. T.; HUYNH, V. H.; TRAN, T. D. T.; HUYNH, T. V.; LE*, T.
