Abstract
A catalytic amount of ruthenium (III) acetylacetonate (2 mol%)[Ru (acac) 3] enables solvent- free acetylation of phenols, alcohols, and amines at ambient temperature in good to excellent yields. Furthermore, the catalyst could be recovered and reused at least three times without a significant loss in yields. Key words: acetylation, protecting groups, ruthenium (III) acetylacetonate, phenols, alcohols, amines.
