| Abstract: | Solvent-free acetylation of alcohols, phenols, amines, and thiols with acetic anhydride (Ac2O) in the presence of 0.1 mol% (13 mg) anhydrous NiCl2, an inexpensive and easily available catalyst, is described. Excellent yields, short reaction time, and mild reaction conditions are important features of this method. |
