A method for acylation of an aromatic compound, comprising reacting an aromatic compound and an acylating agent of the carboxylic acid type, in the presence of a Lewis acid and of a silylated reagent selected from the group consisting of halosilanes and halosiloxanes.
A process for the production of 2-alkyl-3-aroyl-5-nitrobenzofurans by acylation of 2-(2-hydroxy-5-nitrophenyl)-1-aryl-ethanones and subsequent treatment of the esters with combinations of bases and proton acids or Lewis acids. This process can be used for the production of Dronedarone. Furthermore, novel intermediates for the manufacture of Dronedarone are provided.
