Halophenol Rearrangement in Lewis Acid-Catalyzed Friedel–Crafts Conditions: Evidence of Competitive Initial Protonation and Acylation
Halogen rearrangement was observed during the Lewis acid-catalyzed Friedel–Crafts reaction of phthalic anhydride with bromophenols or bromoanisole. Further investigation revealed that 2-, 3-, and 4-bromophenols undergo rearrangement into other isomers under these reaction conditions. Product distrib...
