Abstract

Abstract Image

Chemoselective dehydrogenative interaction of ClMe2SiH with a carboxylic acid group in the presence of InX3 is reported. 13C NMR investigation revealed the formation of PhCOOSi(Cl)Me2 as the major transient intermediate. Chemo- and regioselective Friedel−Crafts acylation of aromatic ethers directly from carboxylic acids was established.
