摘要: The alkylation of carboxylic acids by an ethyl moiety boron trifluoride etherate in the absence alcohol from reaction system is unexpected and novel. Both aromatic aliphatic were clearly alkylated affording good yields short times with exception nicotinic acid that necessitated overnight reaction. It was noted while ortho -substituted hydroxyl groups investigated not affected alkylation, those meta - para partially etherified. Furthermore, found to be compatible a range functional such as halogens, amino nitro except for alkene function undecylenic underwent polymerisation concomitant its function.
