Abstract

Primary and secondary alcohols are acylated under mild conditions by the use of 2, 2′- bipyridyl-6-yl carboxylates and cesium fluoride. Furthermore, the reaction is successfully applied to selective acylation of a primary carbinol group of diols containing primary and secondary carbinol groups or exclusive O-acylation of aromatic amino alcohols.
