Different acid anhydrides (of C2 to C7 aliphatic fatty acids and benzoic acid) have been used to study the selective acylation of primary/secondary hydroxyl groups in 2-phenyl-4-(D-threo-1′,2′, 3′-trihydroxypropyl)-2H-1,2,3-triazole, 2-phenyl-4-(D-erythro-1′, 2′,3′-trihydroxypropyl)-2H-1,2,3-triazole, 2-phenyl-4-(D-arabino- 1′,2′,3′,4′-tetrahydroxybutyl)-2H-1,2,3-triazole and 2-phenyl-4-(D-lyxo-1′,2′,3′,4′-tetrahydroxybutyl)-2H-1, 2,3-triazole in the presence of Candida antarctica lipase B in diisopropyl ether. Among the different acid anhydrides, butanoic anhydride was found to be the most efficient acylating agent (for butanoylation); for acetylation, vinyl acetate gave the best results. The reactions with both these acylating agents were highly selective and efficient yielding exclusively the monoacylated products in 95-99% yields in 1-5 h.
