11. The calculations were carried out by employing the M05-2X functional and the 6-311+G(d,p) basis set.

13. The acetylation of 10 was first studied by Cram and Sheehan who obtained 18 in a yield of 51% at room temperature: D. J. Cram, M. Sheehan, J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1969, 91, 3544-3552.
14. The acetylation of 12 has also already been studied by Cram and Kierstead who reported a yield of 88% for 21 when the reaction was carried out at room temp. for 70 min: D. J. Cram, R. W. Kierstead, J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1955, 77, 1186-1190. Our results are given in the table in Scheme 2 to allow a better comparison of the acetylation experiments. In numerous studies we have noted that Friedel-Crafts acylation with acetyl chloride/aluminum trichloride strongly depends on the quality and amount of the catalyst as well as on the reaction conditions (solvent, reaction time, temperature). However, both the original results and our experiments clearly show decreasing reactivity on going from 7 to 12.
