Abstract
The acylation of anisole, phenetole or diphenyl ether with carboxylic anhydrides at 100 degrees C in the presence of catalytic quantities of zeolite H-beta gives the corresponding para-acylated products in high yield; the zeolite can be recovered, regenerated and reused to give a lmost the same yield as that given by fresh zeolite.
