The effect of microwave irradiation on the intermolecular and intramolecular\nFriedel-Crafts acylation of aromatic compounds was investigated. Microwave\nirradiation had no effect on the intermolecular reaction but had an accelerating\neffect on the intramolecular reaction. This enhanced intramolecular reactivity\nthat was attributed to the high probability of close proximity between\nthe reaction sites.
