Ortho substitution, definition compounds

The intermediate 1,5-dicarbonyl compounds of type 24 (Scheme 1) can be constructed not only on the basis of meta-alkoxy-substituted benzyl ketones (C4 + Ci synthesis, Section II,C), but also under definite conditions starting from aryl ketones (C2 + C3 synthesis). Thus, in a molecule of acylveratrole derivatives of type 79, the excess of 7r-electron density due to the presence of two ortho-methoxy groups allows such compounds to be involved in electrophilic substitutions with benzoin (73URP2 74KGS1575).
