Trifluoromethanesulfonic Acid as Acylation Catalyst: Special Feature for C- and/or O-Acylation Reactions
نویسندگان
چکیده
Trifluoromethanesulfonic acid (TfOH) is one of the superior catalysts for acylation. The catalytic activity of TfOH in Cand/or O-acylation has broadened the use of various substrates under mild and neat or forced conditions. In this review, the salient catalytic features of TfOH are summarized, and the unique controllability of its catalytic activity in the tendency of C-acylation and/or O-acylation is discussed.

Solvent-free direct ortho C-acylation of phenolic systems by methanesulfonic acid as catalyst
The use of methanesulfonic acid as a Brønsted acid for direct ortho-acylation of phenols and naphthols proves to be a convenient, more general and direct route to various hydroxyaryl ketones. The route is regioselective, leading to ortho C-acylated products in satisfactory to high yields in most cases. The solvent free reactions described below exhibited environmentally benign in terms of faste...

متن کاملPotassium carbonate: a highly efficient catalyst for the acylation of alcohols, phenols and thiols under mild conditions
A general, mild and efficient protocol has been developed for the synthesis of esters and thioesters. The process has been taking place using tetra n-butylammonium iodide (TBAI) as a phase-transfer catalyst and in the presence of potassium carbonate (K2CO3). A wide range of esters and thioesters was prepared in high yields and suitable times by the treatment of alcohols, phenols and thiols with...

A palladium-catalyzed oxidative acylation of O-phenyl carbamates with a-oxocarboxylic acids via selective aromatic C H bond activation is described. This protocol represents the first ortho-acylation of phenol derivatives, and a catalytic amount of triflic acid additive is crucial for this transformation.
متن کاملEffective Friedel-Crafts acylation of biotin acid chloride in trifluoromethanesulfonic acid.
Biotin is one of the most useful tags in (bio)analytical science due to its specific interaction with avidin, but is not easy to convert because of its low solubility in most solvents. Friedel-Crafts acylation of biotin acid chloride in triflic acid was examined, and the synthesized derivatives had stronger affinity to avidin than biotin in a binding assay using 2-(4'-hydroxyphenylazo)benzoic a...
