Detection was effected by UV irradiation and subsequent charring with 10% sulfuric acid in EtOH followed by heat treatment. Flash chromatography was performed on

• synthesized sulfonated analogs of (trifluoromethyl)dibenzochalcogenium salts by sulfonation with fuming sulfuric acid. Further nitration of sulfonate 14 led to a more reactive nitro-substituted derivative 15 (Scheme 10). These reagents allow easy separation of by-products from the desired trifluoromethylated

• many other Lewis acids including BF3, BeCl2, TiCl4, SbCl5 or SnCl4 have been described as catalysts for the FC alkylation. Furthermore, strong Brønsted-acids including sulfuric acid, hydrofluoric acid or super acids such as HF•SbF5 and HSO3F•SbF5 have also been shown to accelerate this transformation

Since we plan to assemble the 4,4’-bis(alanyl)benzophenones 3 by a Stille carbonylative cross-coupling reaction, the required trimethylstannyl derivatives 5 should be easily prepared from adequately diprotected

• agents like acetic anhydride or sulfuric acid usually suffers from difficulties encountered in their handling, separation, and recovery after the reaction and may lead to environmental pollution. To eliminate these disadvantages we intended to evaluate the silica-bound benzoyl chloride (SBBC) as a solid
