Investigate the competitive acylation pathways of phenols treated with acetyl trifluoroacetate in carbon tetrachloride solvent under base catalysis.
Reacted phenols with acetyl trifluoroacetate in carbon tetrachloride solution.
Introduced low concentrations of pyridine bases to evaluate their catalytic effects on acylation kinetics and product distribution.
Acetylation of phenols is superseded by a markedly more rapid trifluoroacetylation process in the presence of pyridine bases.
Reaction selectivity shifts toward trifluoroacetylation even at low concentrations of the basic catalyst.
