Abstract

P2O5/SiO2 is a highly efficient reagent for the acetylations of a variety of alcohols, phenols and amines with acetic anhydride under solvent-free conditions. Primary, secondary, allylic and benzylic alcohols, diols and phenols with electron-donating or withdrawing substituents can be easily acetylated in good to excellent yield.
