Propargylation of aromatic compounds using Ce(OTf)3 as catalyst
摘要:
Ce(OTf)(3) was successfully employed as catalyst for the activation of the hydroxyl group in the Friedel-Crafts reaction of aromatic compounds with propargylic alcohols in nitromethane. The products were obtained in good to excellent yields. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
