Zincke–Suhl reaction
The Zincke–Suhl reaction is a special case of a Friedel-Crafts alkylation and was first described by Theodor Zincke and Suhl.[1][2][3]
The classic example of this reaction is the conversion of p-cresol to a cyclohexadienone (with the aid of aluminium chloride as a catalyst and tetrachloromethane as a solvent). Melvin Newman, a scientist from the U.S. intensively studied the reaction in the 1950s and reported several improved procedures as well as mechanistic studies.
The reaction product is a starting material in the dienol benzene rearrangement.
