Summary
The study of the action of propionic and butyric anhydrides in presence of anhydrous aluminium chloride on orcinol shows that γ-substitution takes place almost exclusively. Therefore, this provides a conveniem method for the synthesis of hitherto unknown γ-orc-propiophenone and γ-orcbutyrophenone. Some of their interesting derivatives have been prepared. A study has been made of some deivatives of 5-hydroxy-4∶7-dimethyl-coumarin.
