"Greener" Friedel-Crafts acylations: a metal- and halogen-free methodology.

Org. Lett. 13(9) , 2232-5, (2011)

The utility of methanesulfonic anhydride for promoting the Friedel-Crafts acylation reaction of aryl and alkyl carboxylic acids is disclosed. This reagent allows the preparation of aryl ketones in good yield with minimal waste containing no metallic or haloge...

Study of regioselective methanesulfonylation of simple aromatics with methanesulfonic anhydride in the presence of zeolite catalysts.

Org. Biomol. Chem. 2(21) , 3150-4, (2004)

Regioselective methanesulfonylation of simple aromatics using methanesulfonic anhydride can be achieved over zeolite catalysts. For example, methanesulfonylation of toluene over various cation-exchanged zeolite beta catalysts affords higher para-selectivity i...
