| Abstract: | A highly efficient and simple procedure for the synthesis of substituted benzenes is described. A broad range of ketones (alkyl–aryl ketones and cyclic ketones) were condensed via a cyclotrimerization reaction in the presence of catalytic amounts of boron sulfonic acid [B(HSO4)3], a new, highly efficient, and reusable catalyst, under solvent-free conditions. All reactions completed in short times without formation of any by-products. The catalyst was recovered and reused successfully for 15 cycles of the reaction.
