Abstract

This work presents an efficient procedure for preparing acyl fluorides by simply reacting carboxylic acid with hydrogen fluoride-pyridine and 1, 3-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCC) in dichloromethane. The acyl fluorides were converted in situ to the corresponding benzyl carboxylic esters by adding benzyl alcohol and triethylamine to the reaction mixture.
