A Simple and Mild Acylation of Alcohols, Phenols, Amines, and Thiols with a Reusable Heteropoly Acid Catalyst (H6P2W18O62·24 H2O)

The acylation of alcohols, phenols, thiols, and amines with varied substitution using acid anhydrides is efficiently catalyzed by Wells-Dawson heteropoly acid (H6P2W18O62·24 H2O). Reactions proceed with very good to excellent yield in air at room temperature, using toluene as solvent (40 examples)....
