A surprising synergistic effect has been discovered between metal triflates (Mg, Ca, Sc, Cu, Zn, Y, Ln, Bi) and methanesulfonic acid, leading to active catalytic systems for the Fries rearrangement. In particular, the systems based on yttrium and copper(II) triflate proved to be very active and much cheaper than scandium triflate. The efficiency of these systems might result from the catalytic Lewis acid activation of Br?nsted acids.

The cationic ruthenium hydride complex [(C6H6)(PCy3)(CO)RuH]+BF4- has been found to be an effective catalyst for the oxidative C-H coupling reaction of phenols with aldehydes to give 2-acylphenol compounds. The coupling of phenols with α,β-unsaturated aldehydes selectively gives the flavene derivatives. The catalytic method mediates direct oxidative C-H coupling of phenol and aldehyde substrates without using any metal oxidants or forming wasteful byproducts. A cationic ruthenium hydride complex catalyzes the oxidative C-H coupling of phenols with aldehydes to form 2-acylphenol and flavene derivatives.
The Catalytic Fries Rearrangement and o-Acylation Reactions Using Group 3 and 4 Metal Triflates as Catalysts

Group 3 and 4 metal triflates (Sc(OTf)3, TiCl(OTf)3, Zr(OTf)4, and Hf(OTf)4) were found to be efficient catalysts in the Fries rearrangement of phenyl or 1 -naphthyl acylates. It was also found that the o-acylation (direct acylation) reactions of phenols and 1-naphthols with acid chlorides proceeded smoothly in the presence of the triflates. Both reactions were successfully carried out using small amounts of the triflates (catalytically), and comparison of catalytic activities of these metal triflates in these reactions is discussed.
