Abstract
Anisole, resorcinol dimethyl ether, p.methylanisole, and beta-methoxyn aphthalene undergo regiospecific trifluoroacetylation in neat trifluor oacetic anhydride (TFAA) at 100 degrees C in the presence of 0.1 eq. C oCl2 as catalyst: with a 1:1 anisole/TFAA ratio, only paradimerization of anisole is observed. Copyright (C) 1996 Elsevier Science Ltd
