Abstract
In the presence of gallium dichloride, the reaction of carbonyl compou nds or their dimethylacetals with aromatic compounds afforded Friedel- Crafts alkylated adducts in good yields. It was suggested that the add ucts were obtained by way of a reduction of the carbonyl compounds or their dimethylacetals, followed by the Friedel-Crafts reaction in one- pot. This is the first organic synthetic method with gallium dichlorid e, low valent gallium.
