Abstract
A novel catalytic system, the complex of antimony(V) chloride (SbCl 5) and benzyltriethylammonium chloride (TEBA), C6H 5CH2NEt3(SbCl5)2Cl complex, is described for Friedel-Crafts acylation reactions of aromatics with acyl and sulfonyl chlorides. The catalyst has a number of useful characteristics, such as ready access, minimal toxicity, reusability, insensitivity to atmosphere and moisture, rapid acylation with high yield, and ease of operation.
