Abstract

Abstract: The use of ultrasound in the acylation reactions of various aromatics and polyaromatics with different acyl chlorides, in the presence of catalytic amount of ferric sulphate at room temperature, gives good yields of the respective ketones with a short reaction time. A facile and simple synthesis of various aromatic ketones using Friedel-Crafts acylation has been established from the corresponding acid chlorides and aromatic or ...
