Abstract

The Fries reactioii is interpreted as proceeding through a complex of phenol ester and aluminum chloride which, when suf-ficiently polarized, becomes capable of acylating a different molecule or of rearranging. The former process follows the usual rules of orientation while the latter affords only o-hydroxy ketone As a rule the rearrangement is favored only at high temperatures, but it is facilitated by electron-repelling groups in the phenolic portion ...
