I. Hashimoto et al., REGIOSELECTIVITY OF FRIEDEL-CRAFTS ACYLATION OF AROMATIC-COMPOUNDS WITH SEVERAL CYCLIC ANHYDRIDES, Research of chemical intermediates, 22(9), 1996, pp. 855-869
The Friedel-Crafts acylations of various aromatic compounds with cycli
c anhydrides such as 2-(p-substituted phenyl)butanedioic, 3-phenylpent
anedioic and homophathlic anhydrides were carried out under various co
nditions in order to obtain informations about the regioselectivity of
the ring opening of the cyclic anhydrides and about the possible reac
tion pathways in the acylations.
