Herein, we report the synthesis of task-specific amino-functionalized imidazolium ionic liquid, acetate1-(2-tert-butoxycarbonylamino-ethyl)-3-methyl-3H-imidazol-1-ium; (Boc-NH-EMIM.OAc), as an efficient catalyst for the acetylation of alcohols, phenols, and amines in the presence of acetic anhydride (acetylating reagent). Remarkably, acetic anhydride in the presence of 10?molpercent of catalyst (Boc-NH-EMIM.OAc) under solvent-free conditions showed excellent acetylation activity in shorter duration of time. On the basis of this, a general procedure for acetylation of alcohols, phenols, and amines has been developed. The ionic liquid (Boc-NH-EMIM.OAc) can be readily recovered and reused successfully up to four consecutive cycles without any significant loss of its catalytic activity. We have been able to show that this acetylating method has many advantages. It gives high yields, takes shorter time, and develops the possibility of benign environmental-friendly process.

We report an iron-catalyzed general functional group protection method with inexpensive reagents. This environmentally benign process does not use acids or bases, and does not produce waste products. Further purification beyond filtration and evaporation is, in most cases, unnecessary. Free COOH and OH groups can be protected in a one-pot reaction.
