Highly Efficient Cationic Palladium Catalyzed Acetylation of Alcohols and Carbohydrate-Derived Polyols

The development of a new facile method for the acetylation of alcohols and carbohydrate-derived polyols is described. This method relies on the nature of the cationic palladium catalyst, Pd(PhCN)2(OTf)2 which is generated in situ from Pd(PhCN)2Cl2 and AgOTf to catalyze the acetylation reaction. Thi...
