Nafion-H catalyzed acetylation of alcohols

A wide variety of alcohols, some containing acid sensitive groups also, underwent smooth acetylation with acetic anhydride upon catalysis with Nation-H, a solid acid catalyst, which could be recovered and used again.

THE RELATIVE REACTIVITY OF 2-METHYL-1,3-DIOXOLANE IN RADICAL REACTION WITH UNSATURATED COMPOUNDS

The reactivity of 2-methyl-1,3-dioxolan-2-yl radicals toward α-olefins containing substituents with various polarities was studied.There is a substantial increase in the relative addition rate constant in the series consisting of vinyl butyl ether, 1-hexene, vinyl acetate, trimethylvinylsilane, methyl acrylate, and acrylonitrile.This indicates that the 2-methyl-1,3-dioxolan-2-yl radicals have clearly defined nucleophilic character.
