S. Chandrasekhar et al., ACYLATION OF ALCOHOLS WITH ACETIC-ANHYDRIDE CATALYZED BY TACL5 - SOMEIMPLICATIONS IN KINETIC RESOLUTION, Tetrahedron letters, 39(20), 1998, pp. 3263-3266
TaCl5 and TaCl5-Silica gel have been effectively used as Lewis acid ca
talysts for acetylation of alcohols. Also TaCl3-Chiral ligands have be
en used for kinetic resolution of 2 degrees alcohols albeit in low ees
