摘要

Abstract: A simple and efficient protocol for the conversion of alcohols, ethers and ketals to acetates using catalytic FeCl3 (5mol%) in AcOH, or AcOH (3eq) in CH2Cl2 in very high yield is reported. A variety of other acids such as CF3CO2H, HCO2H, CH2= CHCO2H, CH3CH2CO2H, CH3 (CH2) 2CO2H have also been utilised for the acylation of alcohols successfully. Key words: esterification, acetylation, catalyst
