  • 1. Shahrekord University, Shahrekord (Iran, Islamic Republic of)

Description

Stable and non-hygroscopic polystyrene supported aluminium triflate (Ps-Al(OTf)3), which is prepared easily from cheap and commercially available compounds was found to be an environmentally friendly heterogeneous catalyst for Friedel-Crafts acylation of arenes using acid chlorides in the absence of solvent under mild reaction conditions. The catalyst can be reused up to five times after simple washing with dichloromethane
