✦ Synopsis
The use of MoO 2 Cl 2 as a novel catalyst for Friedel-Crafts acylation and sulfonylation is described. A series of aromatic ketones and sulfones were prepared in moderate to good yields using acyl chloride or sulfonyl chloride in the presence of MoO 2 Cl 2 (20 mol %), under solvent-free conditions.

Bis(trifluoroalkylsulfonylimino)trifluoromethanesulfonic acid has demonstrated remarkable catalytic ability in the electrophilic acylation of aromatic substrates. Various perfluoroalkyl substituted aroyl chlorides are employed in Friedel-Crafts acylation typically using 1 mol % of catalyst.
