Manganese-mediated acetylation of alcohols, phenols, thiols, and amines utilizing acetic anhydride

Manganese(II) chloride-catalyzed acetylation of alcohols, phenols thiols and amines with acetic anhydride is reported. This method is environment-friendly and economically viable as it involves inexpensive, relatively benign catalyst, mild reaction condition, and simple workup. Acetylation is performed under the solvent-free condition at ambient temperature and acetylated products obtained in good to excellent yields. Primary, secondary heterocyclic amines, and phenols with various functional groups are smoothly acetylated in good yields. This method exhibits exquisite chemoselectivity, the amino group is preferentially acetylated in the presence of a hydroxyl/thiol group.

Chromatography-Free Esterification Reactions Using a Bifunctional Polymer

A linear polystyrene functionalized with both nucleophilic DMAP groups and sterically hindered tertiary amine groups was synthesized and used homogeneously in a range of esterification reactions between alcohols and various carboxylic acid derivatives. The polymer was highly effective in such reactions where the DMAP groups served as catalytic groups. The ester products of these reactions could be isolated in high purity and yield without the need for chromatographic purification, and the polymer could be recovered and reused numerous times with no apparent decrease in utility.
