Abstract
A study was carried out on the alkylation reaction of anisole with cycloalkenedicarboxylic acids in the presence of various catalytic systems. It was found that the reaction proceeds with high yields in the presence of aluminum chloride, ferric chloride, and p-toluenesulfonic acid. The possibility of further cleavage of the ether bond to obtain 4-(4-hydroxyphenyl)cycloalkanedicarboxylic acids was demonstrated. The resulting compounds are potential biologically active compounds.
