Abstract

This paper reports different examples of Friedel-Crafts acylation of various substrates with dicarboxylic acid chlorides (phthalic, isophthalic, and malonyl synthons) in the presence of the AlCl3-DMF complex as catalyst.  When 2(3H)-benzothiazolone reacted with phthalic anhydride in the presence of the AlCl3-DMF complex as catalyst, in addn. to the product of 6-substitution, 4-(2-carboxybenzoyl)-2(3H)-benzothiazolone was obtained as a contaminant.  This is the first product ever obtained with a 4-substitution in the acylation of 2(3H)-benzothiazolone.
