Abstract :
Methyl benzoate, protolytically activated by superacidic trifluoromethanesulfonic acid, reacts with aromatic compounds to give benzophenone derivatives in good to excellent yields (70–93%). Even highly deactivated nitrobenzene as well as benzotrifluoride underwent smooth benzoylation under the reaction conditions to respective meta-substituted benzophenones.
