Can I use this catalyst instead of AlCl4 in the synthesis of Friedel-Crafts 4-methylpropiophenone. I think the answer is yes, right.
I put the reaction at 60 degrees for 2 hours?

Well if whatever aryl you have to substitute is an ortho phenol with respect to the newly introduced acyl.

It is hard to find AlCl₃ in Europe but I bought it yesterday, thank you.

really not impossible to come across, from Poland you can find it even at a good price.
