Halophenol rearrangement in Lewis acid-catalyzed Friedel-Crafts conditions: Evidence of competitive initial protonation and acylation

Halogen rearrangement was observed during the Lewis acid-catalyzed Friedel-Crafts reaction of phthalic anhydride with bromophenols or bromoanisole. Further investigation revealed that 2-, 3-, and 4-bromophenols undergo rearrangement into other isomers under these reaction conditions. Product distrib...
