Benzoyl trifluoromethanesulfonate (BzOTf) is a highly efficient reagent for the benzoylation of a variety of alcohols under mild conditions.These include hindered secondary and tertiary hydroxyls, phenols, and α-glycols.Sensitive functionality is stable when the reaction is performed in the presence of pyridine.Several unique rearrangements of Lewis acidsensitive compounds were also effected.
