“…Acetylation with acyl halides or acid anhydrides has been reported using either homogeneous or heterogeneous acid catalysts [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12] or base catalysts [13][14][15][16][17]. Subsequently, a wide range of homogeneous transition-metal-based or organocatalysts have been developed for the acetylation of alcohols using RuCl 3 [18], CeCl 3 [19], ZrCl 4 [20], La(NO 3 )•6H 2 O [21], Al(OTf) 3 [22], AgOTf [23], Co(II)salen-complex [24], NiCl 2 [25], CoCl 2 [26], iodine [27], Ph 3 P + CH 2 COMeBr − [28], Cp 2 ZrCl 2 [29], Mg(NTf 2 ) 2 [30], H 3 [P(Mo 3 O 10 ) 4 ]•nH 2 O [31], 3-nitrobenzeneboronic acid [32], (4-dimethylaminopyridine) [33], (4-(N,N -dimethylamino)pyridine hydrochloride) [34], CuZr(PO 4 ) 2 NPs [35], melamine trisulfonic acid [36], tin(IV)porphyrin-hexamolybdate [37], and NaOAc•3H 2 O [38]. Furthermore, acetylation has also been reported with a series of heterogeneous catalysts, such as ionic liquids [39], ZnO [40,41], CuO-ZnO [42], nano γ-Fe 2 O 3 [43], Fe 3 O 4 @PDA-SO 3 H…”
