A new convenient Friedel-Crafts alkylation of aromatic compounds with secondary alcohol methanesulfonates in the presence of scandium(III) trifluoromethanesulfonate or trifluoromethanesulfonic acid as the catalyst
H. Kotsuki et al., A new convenient Friedel-Crafts alkylation of aromatic compounds with secondary alcohol methanesulfonates in the presence of scandium(III) trifluoromethanesulfonate or trifluoromethanesulfonic acid as the catalyst, SYNTHESIS-S, (4), 1999, pp. 603-606
Scandium(III) triflate and triflic acid were both found to be efficient cat
alysts for the Friedel-Crafts alkylation of aromatic compounds using methan
esulfonates derived from secondary alcohols as alkylating agents.
