H‐β Zeolites, doped with various metal salts, were investigated as heterogeneous catalysts for continuous‐flow Friedel‐Crafts acylation reactions. It was found that Zr‐β zeolites possessed excellent catalyst activity and stability, which enabled its use as a catalyst, up to 5 days, for Friedel‐Crafts reactions between various activated arenes and acid anhydrides. Challenging substrates, such as toluene and m ‐xylene, were also successfully applied for the continuous‐flow process.
