We report acylation of alcohols and amines employing acetic acid as an acylating agent in solvent free condition by using alum doped nanopolyaniline (NDPANI) as a catalyst. This environmentally benign method does not use corrosive acid anhydrides and acid chlorides for acylation and does not produce waste product. Also, a non-toxic potash alum was used for doping of polyaniline rather than corrosive acids. The reaction conditions represent an advance over established method not only in omitting the need for expensive catalysts or solvents but also in shortening the reaction time significantly. The advantages of this catalyst are non-hazardous, cheap, reusable, easy to prepare and handling.

A novel and efficient protocol for chemoselective deacetylation under ambient conditions was developed using catalytic KMnO4. The stoichiometric use of KMnO4 highlighted the dual role of a heterogeneous oxidant enabling direct access to aromatic aldehydes in one-pot sequential deacetylation-oxidation. The reaction employed an alternative solvent system and allowed the clean transformation of benzyl acetate to sensitive aldehyde in a single step while preventing over-oxidation to acids. Use of inexpensive and readily accessible KMnO4 as an environmentally benign reagent and the ease of the reaction operation were particularly attractive, and enabled the controlled oxidation and facile cleavage of acetate in a preceding step.

We developed a ruthenium-catalyzed reductive ester synthesis from aldehydes or ketones and carboxylic acids using carbon monoxide as a deoxygenative agent. Multiple factors influencing the outcome of the reaction were investigated. Best results were obtained for commercially available and inexpensive benzene ruthenium chloride; as low as 0.5 mol % of the catalyst is sufficient for efficient reaction. Competitive studies demonstrated that the presence of even 1000 equiv of alcohol in the reaction mixture does not lead to the corresponding ester, which clearly indicates that the process is not a simple reductive esterification but a novel type of Ru-catalyzed redox process.
