	We present herein Br &amp;amp; oslash;nsted acid-catalyzed Friedel-Crafts alkylation of phenols with Donor-Acceptor cyclopropane ketones. The presence of the 1,4-diphenyl butan-1-one and 1,3-diphenyl propane-1-one motifs in various naturally occurring biologically significant molecules inspired us to pursue the direct synthesis of these structural frameworks. Utilizing methanesulfonic acid (MeSO3H) as a catalyst, we achieved a more environmentally friendly and high-yielding synthesis, owing to its cost-effectiveness, biodegradability, transition-metal and additives free conditions. Furthermore, we have successfully extended our developed methodology to thiophenols, resulting in the production of sulfur-based butan-1-one derivatives in good yields. The presence of 1,4-diphenyl butan-1-one and 1,3-diphenyl propane-1-one motifs in various naturally occurring biologically significant molecules prompted us to develop a Br &amp;amp; oslash;nsted acid-catalyzed Friedel-Crafts alkylation of phenols with Donor-Acceptor cyclopropane. image&lt;/p&gt;
