Abstract

Cp* 2Sm (thf) 2 was found to be an efficient catalyst for the acylation of alcohols and amines with esters under mild conditions. In the present acylation, vinyl and isopropenyl acetates served as good acylating agents. Thus, a variety of alcohols and amines underwent acylation with vinyl and isopropenyl acetates in the presence of Cp* 2Sm (thf) 2 to give the corresponding esters and amides in good to excellent yields. This catalytic acylation of ...
