Abstract: The title compounds were synthesized through the acylation of 2-ethyl-1, 4-dimethoxybenzene 1 by eight different aliphatic carboxylic acids using trifluoroacetic anhydride as the catalyst.The eight new ketonevs were characterized by IR,NMR,UVand MSspectrometry.

Key words: Trifluoroacetic anhydride, Friedel-Crafts acylation reaction, 4-ehtyl-2,5-dimethoxy-phenyl alkyl ketone
