A convenient, efficient and fast acetylation combining clays and ultrasound irradiation is described. Some molecules from nature or synthetic source, i.e., D-glucose, glycerol, D-mannitol and 1,2,3-triazolic derivatives such as N-glucosyl sugars and 2-substituted 1,4-naphthoquinone structures were acetylated. This kind of chemistry may be classified as eco-friendly because the reactions take a short time and the catalyst is reusable.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
