An operationally simple and general method for acetylation and acylation of a wide variety of substrates (amines, alcohols, phenols, thiols, and hydrazones) has been reported. Meldrum's acid and its derivatives have been used as an air-stable, non-volatile, cost-effective, and easy to handle acetylating/acylating agent. Easily separable byproducts (CO2 and acetone) allowed the isolation of analytically pure acetylated products without the requirement of work-up and any chromatography. This journal is

Control of site-selectivity in chemical reactions that occur remote from existing functionality remains a major challenge in synthetic chemistry. We describe a strategy that enables three of the most commonly used cross-coupling processes to occur with high site-selectivity on dichloroarenes that bear acidic functional groups. We have achieved this by repurposing an established sulfonylated phosphine ligand to exploit its inherent bifunctionality. Mechanistic studies suggest that the sulfonate group engages in attractive electrostatic interactions with the cation associated with the deprotonated substrate, guiding cross-coupling to the chloride at the arene meta position. This counterintuitive combination of anionic ligand and anionic substrate demonstrates an alternative design principle when considering the application of noncovalent interactions to direct catalysis.

Herein, we describe a clean and ecocompatible pathway for both N-benzoylation and N-acetylation of anilines, amines, diamines, and aminoalcohols using three enol esters with good yields. We have improved the use of vinyl benzoate for the direct introduction of a benzamido-moiety under solvent- and activation-free conditions. The recovered amides are easily isolated by crystallization. Copyright
