The treatment of 2-(2-vinylphenyl)acetaldehydes or 3-(2-vinylphenyl)propanals with BF 3 ·Et 2 O results in an intramolecular Prins reaction affording intermediary benzyl carbenium ions, which are then trapped by a variety electron-rich aromatics via Friedel–Crafts alkylation. This cascade Prins/Friedel–Crafts cyclization protocol paves expedient path to medicinally useful 4-aryltetralin-2-ol an...

Kinetic analysis was used as a tool for rational optimization of catalytic direct substitution alcohols to enable selective formation ethers, thioethers, and Friedel–Crafts alkylation products using moisture-tolerant commercially available Zr complex.

Remarkably high and regular enantioselectivities are obtained in Friedel-Crafts alkylation reactions involving alpha'-hydroxy enone templates and Cu(II)-bis(oxazoline) complexes as catalysts. The simple elaboration of adducts provides a route to enantioenriched aldehydes, carboxylic acids, and ketones containing the pyrrole and indole frameworks.

A highly enantioselective Friedel-Crafts alkylation of pyrroles with 2-enoylpyridine N-oxides catalyzed by chiral PYBOX-DIPH-Zn(II) complexes has been developed. The catalyst offers substantial substrate scope and furnished alkylated pyrroles in excellent yields (up to 99%) and enantioselectivities (up to >99% ee).

An inter- as well as intra-molecular thia-Pictet-Spengler cyclization of N-tethered thiols and vinylogous thiocarbonates is described for the stereoselective synthesis of N-fused thiazinoindole derivatives. The strategy is extended to one-pot, sequential Friedel-Crafts alkylation - Pictet-Spengler cyclization and the synthesis of thiazino-oxepino-indole.

The direct functionalization of aromatic compounds, via Friedel-Crafts alkylation reactions with alcohols, is one of the cornerstones in organic chemistry. The present emerging area deals with the recent advances in the use of pi-activated alcohols in the catalytic and stereoselective construction of benzylic stereocenters.
