G. Gopalakrishnan et al., A FACILE SYNTHESIS OF PIVALOPHENONES BY ULTRASOUND ASSISTED ALCL3 CATALYZED FRIEDEL-CRAFTS REACTION, Indian journal of chemistry. Sect. B: organic chemistry, including medical chemistry, 35(11), 1996, pp. 1194-1196
Pivalophenones have been prepared by the acylation reaction of various
aromatic and heterocyclic compounds with pivaloyl chloride using AlCl
3, as catalyst under sonochemical conditions in a short reaction time
and in reasonable yields.
