Solvent-free direct ortho C-acylation of phenolic systems by methanesulfonic acid as catalyst

The use of methanesulfonic acid as a Brønsted acid for direct ortho-acylation of phenols and naphthols proves to be a convenient, more general and direct route to various hydroxyaryl ketones. The route is regioselective, leading to ortho C-acylated products in satisfactory to high yields in most cases. The solvent free reactions described below exhibited environmentally […]

Natural Kaolin supported sulfuric acid as an efficient catalyst for the preparation of 1, 1-diacetates under solvent-free conditions

A facile and efficient method for the preparation of 1,1-diacetates of aldehydes is improved. The acidified kaolin with sulfuric acid (2 % w/w) catalyzed 1,1-diacetates formation from aldehydes in solvent-free conditions. Both aromatic and aliphatic aldehydes gave high yields (85-95 %) of the corresponding 1, 1-diacetates. Advantages of this method are the use of inexpensive […]
