Abstract

Chemistry Chemistry, Multidisciplinary Physical Sciences Science & Technology
A catalytic amount of ruthenium(III) acetylacetonate (2 mol%) [Ru(acac)(3)] enables solvent-free acetylation of phenols, alcohols, and amines at ambient temperature in good to excellent yields. Furthermore, the catalyst could be recovered and reused at least three times without a significant loss in yields.
