Abstract

Benzoylations of several benzene, naphthalene and thiophene derivatives with benzoyl chloride or benzoic anhydride, catalyzed with EPZG® catalyst and in the absence of solvents were studied under microwave irradiation (MWI). Reasonable to good yields of products were achieved in short times.
