Abstract
Cerium(III) triflate is a powerful catalyst for the acetylation of alcohols. The reaction works well for a large variety of simple and functionalized alcohols, without isomerisation of chiral centres. Changes of hydroxyl protective groups are possible in a one-pot procedure. The catalyst can be easily recycled.
