Abstract

Molecular iodine is found to catalyze the acetylation of alcohols efficiently with vinyl acetate. The reaction is mild and selective with good to high yields. Molecular iodine displays significant functional group tolerance, being compatible with methoxy, double bonds, spiroketals, ketals and phenolic hydroxyl functions.
