Heterogeneous catalytic acylation of benzo crown ether using acetic anhydride

Article abstract of DOI:10.1080/00397910008087032

Benzo-15-crown-5 macrocycle has been acetylated using acetic anhydride and a series of cation exchanged clays. This acetylating method has great advantages such as the significant reduction of the formation of by-products lower price and the possibility of environmental friendly process. Yields as high as 80% for the acetylated compound are reached in short times.
