Abstract

The Friedel-—-Crafts acylation reaction1 and the Beck-mann rearrangement2 are among the mot fundamental and versatile processes in organic synthesis including industrial chemistry. However, these reactions require excess or stoichiometrie amounts of Lewis acids due to the consumption by their coordination to the products. Therefore, development of these important processes promoted by a catalytic amount of active species has been ...
