In (III)-mediated chemoselective dehydrogenative interaction of ClMe2SiH with carboxylic acids: Direct chemo-and regioselective Friedel-Crafts acylation of aromatic …
Chemoselective dehydrogenative interaction of ClMe2SiH with a carboxylic acid group in the presence of InX3 is reported. 13C NMR investigation revealed the formation of PhCOOSi (Cl) Me2 as the major transient intermediate. Chemo-and regioselective Friedel-Crafts acylation of aromatic ethers directly from carboxylic acids was established.
