An Efficient Acetylation Of Primary And Secondary Aliphatic Alcohols With Acetic Anhydride In The Presence Of Graphite Bisulphate, Hasan Seçen, A. Hami̇t Kalpar

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

In cyclohexane, thirteen examples of primary and secondary aliphatic alcohols were easily converted to the corresponding acetate derivatives within a short time, ranging from 5 min to 2.5 h, and in good yields close to 90%, using acetic anhydride as reagent and graphite bisulphate as an efficient catalyst.
