Abstract

Acylation of a variety of alcohols, phenols, aliphatic and aromatic amines, a thiol and a thiophenol proceeds efficiently using BiCl3 generated in situ from the procatalyst BiOCl and acetyl chloride in a solvent or under solventless conditions, furnishing the corresponding acylated derivatives in very good to excellent yields.
