LiNTf 2 - i Pr 2 NEt: A Catalytic System for the Acylation of Phenols and Primary Alcohols with Carboxylic Anhydrides
Key Points
The research aims to develop a method for acylating phenols and primary alcohols using a specific catalytic system.
Utilized a binary catalytic system of LiNTf2 and iPr2NEt
Performed acylation reactions with carboxylic anhydrides
Assessed the system's steric inertness
Successfully catalyzed the acylation reaction of phenols
Demonstrated efficient acylation of primary alcohols
Showed good selectivity without significant steric hindrance
Abstract
A method for the acylation of phenols and primary alcohols with carboxylic anhydrides in the presence of LiNTf2 and iPr2NEt is described. The binary catalytic system is inert towards sterically...
