HF-Pyridine: A versatile promoter for monoacylation/sulfonylation of phenolic diols and for direct conversion of t-butyldimethylsilyl ethers to the corresponding acetates

Monoacylation and trifluoromethanesulfonylation of phenolic diols were achieved by the aid of HF-pyridine, whereas diacylation occurred with pyridine alone. Furthermore, HF-pyridine was found to promote the direct conversion of t-butyldimethylsilyl ethers to the corresponding acetates.

Regioselective hydrolysis of diacetoxynaphthalenes catalyzed by Pseudomonas sp. lipase in an organic solvent

Depending on the relative positions of the acetyl groups in the aromatic rings, the Pseudomonas sp. lipase-catalyzed hydrolysis of diacetoxynaphthalenes in tert-butylmethyl ether proceeds regioselectively to afford the corresponding monoacetates.

Lipase catalyzed acylation of phenols in organic solvents

Chromobacterium viscosum lipase, adsorbed on Celite, catalyzes the esterification of phenols in organic medium using vinyl acetate as acylating agent.
