Abstract

Acylation of alkenes, in the presence of Lewis or protonic acids, is a versatile method of preparing various derivatives resulting from mono-,] di-(pyrylium synthesis) ,2 tri-,3 and tetra-acylation.4 There have been several reports of the acylation and benzoylation of cyclohexene and 1-methyl cyclohexene where acyl or benzoyl cyclohexene derivatives have been obtained, together with various ketonic products resulting from further cyclization.1.5--7 In the presence of ...
