Does anyone have any reference to synthesis of 3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl amyl ketone?
Probably the simplest of reactants would be hexanoic acid and the substituted benzoic acid... Will the methoxy groups survive the harsh reaction
conditions?
Here are some industrial preps. of propiophenone, which is similar (phenyl ethyl ketone)... sounds like a tube furnace reaction to me...

Is it posible to do a pirolysis reaction (Pb, Ca or Zn salt of mixed acids) or a reaction with the anhydride of the acid (or is that possible only
with acetic anhydrise)?

It should work if you run it under massive reduced pressure with a flow of hot inert gas. Look for lead(II)salts.
