Abstract
Condensation of phenols and their methyl ethers with aromatics is easily carried out in HF–SbF5 or in the presence of aluminum halides (AlCl3 or AlBr3). The postulated mechanism implies trapping of the diprotonated phenolic moiety by aromatics (benzene, naphthalene, tetrahydroquinoline) or through an intramolecular process.
