Abstract

Treatment of aryl alkyl ketones with poly [4-(diacetoxyiodo) styrene] and trimethyl orthoformate in the presence of sulfuric acid followed by hydrolysis afforded methyl 2- arylalkanoates in good yields. The polymeric reagent can be regenerated and reused as an environmentally benign reagent.
