Abstract

A wide variety of alcohols were reacted with acetic anhydride at room temperature in the presence of a catalytic amount of N,N,N-trimethylanilinium tribromide to produce the corresponding alkyl acetates in good to excellent yields. Following this procedure, acetylation of primary, secondary, and tertiary alcohols has been performed under neutral conditions.
