Increased efficiency in biomimetic Lewis acid–base pair catalyzed monoacylation of diols by acyl phosphate monoesters

Acyl phosphate monoesters are biomimetic acylation reagents that require coordination to metal ions to react with cis-diol substrates in water. With lanthanide catalysts, outcomes are compromised by (1) the competitive lanthanide-promoted hydrolysis of the acyl phosphate reagents as well as by (2) t...
