- Abstract
Several aromatic hydrocarbons have been cinnamoylated using fly ash catalyzed Friedel-Crafts acylation method in solvent-free conditions under microwave irradiation for facile and rapid synthesis of good yields of E-2-propen-1-ones. The fly ash can be removed by simple washing with diethyl ether. Thus, this paper describes a new greener method for synthesis of aryl styryl ketones. Moreover, activated substrates undergo cinnamoylation predominantly at the para position.
