I. Mohammadpoor-baltork et al., Bismuth(III) salts as convenient and efficient catalysts for the selectiveacetylation and benzoylation of alcohols and phenols, TETRAHEDRON, 57(27), 2001, pp. 5851-5854
Efficient acetylation and benzoylation of alcohols and phenols with acetic
and benzoic anhydrides have been carried out under catalysis of bismuth(III
) salts including BiCl3, Bi(TFA)(3) and Bi(OTf)(3). Selective acetylation a
nd benzoylation of alcohols in the presence of phenols is an additional adv
antage of this procedure. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserve
