Abstract

Acylation of hydroxy functionalities is one of the most frequently employed processes in synthetic organic chemistry [1]. In the most conventional manner, acylation is carried out by treatment of alcohols with acyl halides or acid anhydrides. When using these reactive acylating agents, however, it is generally difficult to conduct selective acylation of compounds bearing multiple hydroxyls. Therefore, a wide variety of reagents and auxiliaries have been developed for ...
