Tribromoisocyanuric acid (TBCA) as a mild and metal free catalyst for the acetylation and formylation of hydroxyl groups under solvent free conditions

A convenient approach for acetylation and formylation of various types of alcohols and phenols with acetic anhydride and formic acid in the presence of Tribromoisocyanuric acid (TBCA) as catalyst is reported. The reactions were carried out under solvent-free condition and in good to high yields at room temperature. This present method is featured with relatively mild reaction conditions, simple operation, broad substrate scope, clean work-up, short reaction times, good to high yields, excellent selectivity and also avoids tedious purifications and the use of toxic reagents.

Tribromo melamine as novel and versatile catalyst for the formylation and acetylation of alcohols

Tribromo melamine has been found to be an efficient and green organocatalyst for the acetylation and formylation reactions of alcohols with acetic anhydride and ethyl formate at room temperature and under mild reaction conditions.

P-Toluenesulfonyl chloride as a new and effective catalyst for acetylation and formylation of hydroxyl compounds under mild conditions

The catalytic application of p-toluenesulfonyl chloride for efficient acetylation of various types of alcohols and phenols with acetic anhydride in solvent-free conditions is reported. Also structurally diverse alcohols were formylated using formic acid based on the use of catalytic amount of p-toluenesulfonyl chloride under solvent-free condition. The reactions were carried out in short reaction time and in good to excellent yields at room temperature.

Highly efficient formylation of alcohols, thiols and aniline derivatives by a heterogeneous (HCOOH/SiO2) system under microwave irradiation and solvent-free conditions

A simple, rapid and efficient microwave-assisted procedure for the formylation of aniline derivatives and alcohols, using a heterogeneous (HCOOH/SiO2) system under solvent-free conditions is reported. The method is applied to a set of amines, alcohols and thiols and short reaction times (10 min) with high yields are reported. This protocol introduces a practical and viable green technology of solvent-free and catalyst-free reactions.
