Mechanistic aspects of Friedel-Crafts alkylation over FeY zeolite

Friedel–Crafts acylation of 2-methoxynaphthalene over zeolite catalysts

The Friedel–Crafts acylation of 2-methoxynaphthalene was carried out in the liquid-phase batch conditions using Hmordenite, H-beta and H-Y zeolite as catalysts. All the catalysts showed 35–40% conversion in the temperature range of 100–150◦C. 1-Acyl-2-methoxynaphthalene was formed as the primary product. When acetyl chloride was used as the acylating agent, a higher yield of 6-acyl-2-methoxynap...

Friedel-Crafts alkylation of Phenol using Ionic Liquid as Catalyst

Biocatalytic Friedel-Crafts alkylation using non-natural cofactors.

The formation of C C bonds is a central aspect of synthetic organic chemistry. However, in biocatalysis only few enzymes capable to perform this reaction are known, among which aldolases, transketolases, and hydroxynitril lyases have been investigated thoroughly. Some have even found their way into industrial applications. Friedel–Crafts alkylation is a classic organic reaction of great importa...

Friedel-Crafts alkylation of indoles with epoxides using PW12-APTES@SBA-15

H3PW12O40 (PW12) was immobilized over mesoporous alumina through the reaction of mesoporous alumina functionalized 3-aminopropyl triethoxy silane (3-APTES) and PW12. The surface properties of the functionalized nanocomposite was analyzed by a series of characterization techniques like elemental analysis, FTIR and XRD. XRD and adsorption–desorption analysis shows that the mesostructure of silica...

Ammonium monovanadate: a versatile and reusable catalyst for Friedel-Crafts alkylation and Michael addition of indoles

Ammonium monovanadate (NH4VO3) has been devoted as an efficient, commercially available, eco-friendly and reusable catalyst for the synthesis of bis(indolyl)methanes (BIMs), oxindole derivatives and also Michael adducts of indoles at 50 °C under solvent-free conditions. The reusability of this solid acid catalyst in addition with its selectivity has also been examined.
