Abstract

Benzoyl trifluoromethanesulfonate (BzOTf) is a highly efficient reagent for the benzoy&tion of a variety of alcohols under mild conditions. These include hindered secondary and tertiary hydroxyls, phenols, and a-glycols. Sensitive functionality is stable when the reaction is performed in the presence of pyridine. Several unique rearrangements of Lewis acid sensitive compounds were also effected.
