Abstract
Trimethylsilyl trifluoromethanesulfonate is an excellent catalyst for the acylation of alcohols with acid anhydrides. Highly functionalized primary, secondary, tertiary, and allylic alcohols, and phenols, were acylated cleanly and efficiently and in a fraction of the time used under the standard DMAP conditions.
